Die Briefe vermitteln ein Bild von Brochs politischen Diskussionen mit Kahler im amerikanischen Exil. In ihnen geht es u.a. um den Eintritt der USA in den Zweiten Weltkrieg, die Gefahr der Atombombe für die Menschheit, um den Kalten Krieg mit den Folgen der McCarthy-Ära, die Einstellung zu Deutschland und Österreich in den Nachkriegsjahren und die Frage der Hilfe für diese beiden Länder, die Gründung Israels und die Rolle des Intellektuellen allgemein. Zudem schildert Broch die Intentionen seiner Romane "Der Tod des Vergil" und "Die Schuldlosen" sowie seiner Studien zu den internationalen Menschenrechten, seiner Überlegungen zur demokratischen Erziehung, zur "Massenwahntheorie" und seines kulturhistorischen Werks "Hofmannsthal und seine Zeit". Im Persönlichen werden jüdisch-altösterreichische Retrospektiven eingeschaltet, aktuelle Frauenfreundschaften, die ihn überfordern, geschildert und die Bemühungen seiner Gönner kommentiert, die ihm den Nobelpreis verschaffen wollen, Stellen an deutschen Universitäten vermitteln möchten und ihn zum Mitglied der Darmstädter Akademie gewählt haben, dies meistens mit ironischem Unterton und einer für den Autor typischen Selbstkritik.

Hermann Broch (1886-1951) is best known for his two major modernist works, The Sleepwalkers (3 vols., 1930-1932) and The Death of Virgil (1945), which frame a lifetime of ethical, cultural, political, and social thought. A textile manufacturer by trade, Broch entered the literary scene late in life with an experimental view of the novel that strove towards totality and vividly depicted Europe's cultural disintegration. As fascism took over and Broch, a Viennese Jew, was forced into exile, his view of literature as transformative was challenged, but his commitment to presenting an ethical view of the crises of his time was unwavering. An important mentor and interlocutor for contemporaries such as Arendt and Canetti as well as a continued inspiration for contemporary authors, Broch wrote to better understand and shape the political and cultural conditions for a postfascist world. This volume covers the major literary works and constitutes the first comprehensive introduction in English to Broch's political, cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical writings.
