«Las tribulaciones del estudiante Törless» is the modernist novel by Robert Musil, published by Seix Barral in hardcover (213 pages, in Spanish).
In a military boarding school at the beginning of the 20th century, the student Törless witnesses the awakening of his sensibility and the buried violence among the cadets. The novel explores the moral and sexual confusion of adolescence, relationships of domination and humiliation, the questioning of authority, and the crisis of an aristocratic society that idealizes discipline.
First novel by Robert Musil, originally published in German in 1906. This 1984 edition belongs to the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea collection.
A read for those interested in Central European literature and coming-of-age novels, with an uncomfortable look at juvenile cruelty.
