A review by antoniosantos
The Confusions of Young Torless by Robert Musil
5.0
4.5 stars.
It's a good book, but tense and cruel at times, it basically deals with perversion, psychological/physical torture and severe bullying. it is very reflective, and makes crucial points to understand totalitarian and cruel systems through and a perspective of teenagers inside a boarding school.
It's a book from 1906 that brings up timeless themes, which is why it seems up-to-date.
