«La Mort de Virgili (vol. 2)» is the novel by Hermann Broch published by Edicions 62 in paperback.
In the novel, the poet Virgil, already dying, reviews his life and work and doubts the social usefulness of poetry, even considering destroying the Aeneid. The narrative, an extensive third-person interior monologue with lyrical and elegiac passages, turns this personal crisis into a parable about the role of art in the face of the rise of Nazism.
The novel was originally published in 1945 in German and English; this paperback edition, from 2020, belongs to the collection «Les millors obres de la literatura universal. Segle XX» (no. 38).
Hermann Broch was an Austrian writer, best known for two major works of modernist fiction: The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Virgil.
