Joseph Roth
Joseph Roth (1894-1939) was born into a Jewish family in the small town of Brody in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. He studied first in Lemberg and then in Vienna, and served in the Austrian army during World War I. He later worked as a journalist in Vienna and Berlin, travelling widely, staying in hotels and living out of suitcases, while also being a prolific writer of fiction. Roth left Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933 and settled in Paris, where he died just before the outbreak of World War II. As well as his masterpiece The Radetzky March, he was the author of over two dozen works of fiction and non-fiction, including On the End of the World, The Coral Merchant and Flight Without End, all published by or forthcoming from Pushkin Press.

Reviews for Three Novellas
7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an excellent introduction to Roth, which consisted of three very good novellas:Fallmerayer the Stationmaster: The life of a stationmaster in a small Austrian town is permanently altered after he rescues a Russian countess from a horrible train crash a short distance away.The Bust of the Emperor: An aging count and relic of the defeated Hapsburg Empire is forced to come to terms with the changes in post World War I Europe and his diminished status.The Legend of the Holy Drinker: A vagrant in Paris experiences a series of good strokes of luck, which renew his faith and self worth. He is indebted to his original benefactor, and makes several futile but humorous attempts to repay the saint who inspired his gentleman friend.
