The Death of Virgil (1945) is Hermann Broch's most famous work. The novel follows the final days of the Roman poet Publius Virgilius Marus, who, gravely ill, travels from Athens to Brundisium, arriving on the birthday of Emperor Augustus in 19 AD.
Twelve men in generational succession represent the main characters of this magnificent family saga that spans the last three hundred years of Hungarian history.
The novella was published for the first time in 1961 in the magazine Novij mir and aroused anger among critics, pointing out that it is only "about the narrow, intimate experiences of the heroine".
