The text provides biographical context for Broch—Vienna-born engineer and philosopher, later imprisoned by the Nazis and researching mass psychology at Yale—alongside publication and cataloging information for a Vintage International edition. The excerpt begins with Part One, introducing Herr von Pasenow and an unsettling social reaction to his presence in Berlin.","HERMANN BROCH  \nThe  \nSLEEPWALKERS  \nHermann Broch (1886–1951) was born in Vienna, where he trained as an engineer and studied philosophy and mathematics. He gradually increased his involvement in the intellectual life of Vienna, becoming acquainted with Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sigmund Freud, and Robert Musil, among others. The Sleepwalkers was his ɹrst major work. In 1938, he was imprisoned as a subversive by the Nazis, but was freed and ɻed to the United States. In the years before his death, he was researching mass psychology at Yale University. The Death of Virgil originally appeared in 1945; his last major novel, The Guiltless, was published in 1950.  \nVINTAGE INTERNATIONAL  \nBOOKS BY HERMANN BROCH  \nThe Spell  \nThe Guiltless The Death of Virgil The Sleepwalkers  \nFIRST VINTAGE INTERNATIONAL EDITION, FEBRUARY 1996  \nAll rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions.

Small, but well made, neither a shrivelled ancient nora pot-belly, he was extraordinarily well proportioned, and the tophat which he always sported in Berlin did not look in the least ridiculous on him. He wore Kaiser Wilhelm I. whiskers, but cut somewhat shorter, and on his cheeks there was none of that white ɻuʃ which gave the Emperor his aʃable appearance; even his hair, which had scarcely thinned yet, showed no more than a few white strands; in spite of his seventy years it had kept its youthful fairness, a reddish blond that reminded one of rotting straw and really did not suit an old man, for whom one would have liked to imagine amore venerable covering. But Herr von Pasenow was accustomed to the colour of his hair, nor in his judgment did his monocle look in the least too youthful. When he gazed in the mirror he recognized there the face that had returned his gaze ɹfty years before. Yet though Herr von Pasenow was not displeased with himself, there were people whom the looks of this old man ɹlled with discomfort, and who could not comprehend how any woman could ever have looked upon him or embraced him with desire in her eyes; and at most they would allow him only the Polish maids on his estate, and held that even these he must have got round by that slightly hysterical and yet arrogant aggressiveness which is often characteristic of small men. Whether this was true or not, it was the belief of his two sons, and it goes without saying that he did not share it. For, after all, sons’ thoughts are often coloured by prejudice, and it would have been easy to accuse his sons of injustice and bias in spite of the uncomfortable feeling which the sight of Herr von Pasenow aroused, a really remarkable feeling of  \ndiscomfort that actually increased when he had passed by and one chanced to look after him. Perhaps that was due to the fact that his back view made one doubtful of his age, for his movements ","cbCaigmt7udihUp0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigmt7udihUp0","pdf",4242064,8,1,780,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Part One: The Romantic (1888)\n## Part Two: The Anarchist (1903)\n## Part Three: The Realist (1918)","[{\"question\":\"How is The Sleepwalkers structured in this edition?\",\"answer\":\"It is organized as a trilogy with three parts: The Romantic (1888), The Anarchist (1903), and The Realist (1918).\"},{\"question\":\"Who is introduced at the start of Part One, The Romantic (1888)?\",\"answer\":\"The excerpt introduces Herr von Pasenow, detailing how people in Berlin react to his approach and appearance.\"}]","The Sleepwalkers - A Trilogy - Part One - The Romantic (1888) | PDF",1787697170,1201,{"code":4,"msg":32,"data":33},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":34,"title":13,"keywords":35,"description":14,"schema_data":36,"social_meta":83,"head_meta":85,"extra_data":87,"updated_unix":29},"the-sleepwalkers-a-trilogy-part-one-the-romantic-1888","",{"@graph":37,"@context":82},[38,54,69],{"@type":39,"itemListElement":40},"BreadcrumbList",[41,45,48,51],{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":44,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":46,"name":47,"@type":44,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":44,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":44,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-sleepwalkers-a-trilogy-part-one-the-romantic-1888/143894/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":42,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-06","2026-08-25",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72,78],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"How is The Sleepwalkers structured in this edition?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"It is organized as a trilogy with three parts: The Romantic (1888), The Anarchist (1903), and The Realist (1918).","Answer",{"name":79,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":80},"Who is introduced at the start of Part One, The Romantic (1888)?",{"text":81,"@type":77},"The excerpt introduces Herr von Pasenow, detailing how people in Berlin react to his approach and appearance.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":84,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":86,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":89},[90,94,97,101,106,111,116,120,125,128,132],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":91,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":102,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":103,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":105},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":107,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":121,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":127},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":129,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":131},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":135},19,"General","general"]
