The Legend Of The Holy Drinker

★★★★★
★★★★★

Paperback | English

By (author): Joseph Roth

Translated by: Michael Hofmann

Illustrated by: Frans Masereel

''One of the greatest European novelists of the century'' Sunday Times Andreas is an alcoholic and a vagrant who lives under a bridge. Downtrodden, submerged at the bottom of society, he lives a fortuitous life - dictated by happenstance and the whims of others - until a run of exceptionally good luck lifts him, briefly, onto a different plane of existence. First published after Roth''s death in 1939, The Legend of the Holy Drinker is haunting and melancholic, yet filled with empathy. A secular miracle-tale, it is an unforgettable testament to Roth''s lucidity and compassion. See more
