The Strudlhof Steps is an unsurpassed portrait of Vienna in the early twentieth century a vast novel crowded with characters ranging from an elegant alcoholic Prussian aristocrat to an innocent ingenue to respectable shopkeepers and tireless sexual adventurers bohemians grifters and honest working - class folk. The greatest character in the book however is Vienna which Heimito von Doderer renders as distinctly as James Joyce does Dublin or Alfred D blin does Berlin. Interweaving two time periods 1908 to 1911 and 1923 to 1925, the novel takes the monumental eponymous outdoor double staircase as a governing metaphor for its characters intersecting and diverging fates. The Strudlhof Steps is an experimental tour de force with the suspense and surprise of a soap opera. Here Doderer illuminates the darkness of passing years with the dazzling extravagance that is uniquely his.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Strudlhof Steps The Depth Of The Years\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Kling Vincent\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The New York Review Of Books Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781681375274\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 800 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Classic Fiction","brand":"Kling Vincent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622930751793,"sku":"IN-G-9781681375274","price":23.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781681375274.jpg?v=1724709534","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781681375274-the-strudlhof-steps-the-depth-of-the-years","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
