I turbamenti del giovane Törless

The novel delves deep into the confusing and often dark inner worlds of young characters. I'm curious what motivated Musil to focus on these themes at this point in history.

The conversations about morality and authority seem to resonate beyond their time, but also feel rooted in early 20th-century European society. How did others interpret the historical context?

The character's journey raises questions about whether innocence is lost or simply complicated by experience. What do others think about his development?
