Скачать или смотреть The Demons by Heimito von Doderer | Book Review

Symphonic in structure, Heimito von Doderer’s sprawling chronicle The Demons portrays the deeply entangled, ideologically fractured world of Vienna, in which no single sonorous note can be isolated without losing the harmonious rhythm of the whole.

This 1,600+ page, three-part novel consumed me over the past ~10 weeks and I did my best to corral and express all my thoughts in this video. As you'd expect in a book this size, there's a lot to be said and it can be difficult to summarize. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
