By (author): Joseph Roth

Translated by: Michael Hofmann

The legendary Austro-Hungarian novelist and essayist, Joseph Roth, was born in Ukraine in 1894 and died tragically in Paris in 1939. These letters span the breadth of Roth's life, from the schoolboy to the veteran of 44, marked by war, poverty, alcoholism, the loss of his wife through madness, and two decades of prolific work. It is a deeply moving portrait of the life of the writer as an outsider, in exile from a world he no longer recognized as his own. See more

About Joseph Roth

JOSEPH ROTH (1894-1939) was the great elegist of the cosmopolitan tolerant and doomed Central European culture that flourished in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Born into a Jewish family in Galicia on the eastern edge of the empire he was a prolific political journalist and novelist. On Hitler's assumption of power he was obliged to leave Germany for Paris where he died in poverty several years later. His novels include What I Saw The Legend of the Holy Drinker The Emperor's Tomb and The Radetzky March all published by Granta Books. MICHAEL HOFMANN is the highly acclaimed translator of Joseph Roth Wolfgang Koeppen Kafka and Brecht and the author of several books of poems and book of criticism.
