Scritto nel 1906 e considerato il romanzo di esordio di Musil, la storia, di ispirazione autobiografica, narra attrverso crudi episodi sadomasochistici e avventure intellettuali, il momento di passaggio dall'adolescenza alla virilità nella crisi della società mitteleuropea. Come scrisse lo stesso Musil, in quest'opera risiede la chiave dell' Uomo senza qualità : l'assenza di sentimento, di morale e di "esperienze" di Törless, lo rende nostalgico, vuoto. Parabola di profonda attualità, nei tratti psicologici del giovane protagonista si delinea il fiero e consapevole rifiuto di un patrimonio di valori svalutato, paragonabile al vuoto "ideologico" e alla noia esistenziale di molti giovani di oggi.

First published in serial form as Der Golem in the periodical Die weissen Blätter in 1913–14, The Golem is a haunting Gothic tale of stolen identity and persecution, set in a strange underworld peopled by fantastical characters. The red-headed prostitute Rosina; the junk-dealer Aaron Wassertrum; puppeteers; street musicians; and a deaf-mute silhouette artist. Lurking in its inhabitants’ subconscious is the Golem, a creature of rabbinical myth. Supposedly a manifestation of all the suffering of the ghetto, it comes to life every 33 years in a room without a door. When the jeweller Athanasius Pernath, suffering from broken dreams and amnesia, sees the Golem, he realises to his terror that the ghostly man of clay shares his own face. . . . The Golem, though rarely seen, is central to the novel as a representative of the ghetto's own spirit and consciousness, brought to life by the suffering and misery that its inhabitants have endured over the centuries. Perhaps the most memorable figure in the story is the city of Prague itself, recognisable through its landmarks such as the Street of the Alchemists and the Castle.
