Description
The author's masterpiece, an epic saga of a family and an empire in decline, is "full of psychological penetration and tragic force" (The New Yorker).
The Radetzky March, Joseph Roth's classic novel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, follows three generations of the privileged von Trotta family as Europe advances inexorably toward World War I. With a breadth and richness that draws comparison to Tolstoy, it encompasses the entire social fabric of Austro-Hungarian society. Shot through with dark humor and tragic irony, The Radetzky March is an unparalleled portrait of a civilization in decline, and as such a universal story for our times.
"A masterpiece . . . The totality of Joseph Roth's work is no less than a tragedie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction. No other contemporary writer, not excepting Thomas Mann, has come close to achieving the wholeness . . . that Lukacs cites as our impossible aim." -Nadine Gordimer
