Voices Rise, Hearts Unite!
Government office, watched rooms, political violence, and unfinished art draw the household into Austria’s crisis. Hermann and Julia confront what a painting can hold—and what another person may refuse.
The unfinished painting
The Prelude, three novels, and Postlude form the literary work. Begin with the Prelude for the complete reading sequence, or try fifty pages of Novel I before committing to the whole. The guides can wait until you want to return.
