  <about><![CDATA[Austrian writer. 

He graduated military boarding school at Eisenstadt (1892-1894) and then Hranice, in that time also known as Mährisch Weißkirchen, (1894-1897). These school experiences are reflected in his first novel - &lt;i&gt;The confusions of young Törless&lt;/i&gt;. 

He served in army during World War I. When Austria became a part of the Third Reich in 1938, Musil left for exile in Switzerland, where he died of a stroke on April 15, 1942. Musil collapsed in the middle of his gymnastic exercises and is rumoured to have died with an expression of ironic amusement on his face. He was 61.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Klagenfurce</hometown>  <born_at>11/06/1880</born_at>  <died_at>04/15/1942</died_at>
