reception

Comparable to Tolstoy's “ War and Peace ”, “(War and World)” is not treated as a “ novel ”, although this categorization appears in some reviews of the book Waterhouses. Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler includes the book in his “Lectures on Austrian Literature 1990 to 2008” and describes it as “a book about translation and thus also a piece of applied philosophy of language”. The publisher advertises the book “unquestionably” as a “major work of contemporary literature”.
