# Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß

By Robert Musil.

"Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß" by Robert Musil is a novel published in 1906. At a boarding school in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, young Törleß and two classmates discover another student stealing. Instead of reporting him, they keep it secret to torment and control him. While his companions inflict physical cruelty, Törleß seeks deeper psychological understanding. Caught between rational thought and mystical impulses, between bourgeois morality and darker fascinations, he struggles to comprehend the hidden workings of the human soul. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
