The Confusions of Young Torless is a taut, powerful depiction of teenage masculinity in this short novel set in an Austrian military academy. An unpopular boy is gradually bullied and humiliated by a coterie of better-off classmates until the almost unbearable conclusion. This was the work which made Musil's name and is his most popular work before his unfinished masterpiece, The Man Without Qualities.

Robert Musil (6 November 1880 - 15 April 1942) was an Austrian philosophical writer.

Jeremy Adler is a Senior Research Fellow and Professor Emeritus at King's College London. He has published widely on German and Comparative Literature. His Goethe. A Critical Life was published last year.
