But the year is 1913, and the grand tapestry of Imperial Vienna is about to be torn asunder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the smoke-filled cafes of a dying capital to the brutal frozen wastes of a Siberian POW camp, Trotta's journey mirrors the collapse of a civilization. Returning to a Vienna he no longer recognizes--a city of breadlines, fractured identities, and rising shadows--he must confront the ultimate erosion of his class and his country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in 1938 as the Nazi \"Anschluss\" loomed, Joseph Roth's final novel is a devastatingly beautiful elegy for a vanished world. It is a story of loyalty, displacement, and the heartbreaking search for a home that no longer exists. This edition preserves the celebrated John Hoare translation, capturing the \"eerie, clairvoyant\" prose of one of the 20th century's greatest writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Roth details without pity the inner life of the authentic self.\" --\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Roth \u003c\/b\u003e(1894-1939) was one of the most brilliant and prolific writers of the 20th century. Born into a Jewish family in Brody, on the eastern fringes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Roth's life and work were defined by the tension between his provincial roots and the cosmopolitan centers of Vienna, Berlin, and Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA legendary journalist who was once the highest-paid writer in Germany, Roth is best known for his monumental family saga, \u003ci\u003eThe Radetzky March\u003c\/i\u003e, and his prophetic final novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor's Tomb\u003c\/i\u003e. His writing--described by the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e as \"shattering in its simplicity\"--expertly captures the displacement of the \"homeless wanderer\" in the wake of the Great War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForced into exile in 1933 following the rise of the Nazi party, Roth spent his final years in Paris, writing feverishly while struggling with alcoholism and poverty. He died in 1939, just months before the outbreak of World War II, leaving behind a body of work that serves as a haunting, lyrical epitaph for the lost world of Central Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 7.98 x 5.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212211806515,"sku":"9781585673278","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/t45B5mo_a-9781585673278.webp?v=1775780692","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-emperors-tomb-the-classic-sequel-to-the-radetzky-march-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
