Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Nonstop brilliance, irresistible charm and continuing relevance.--Jeffrey Eugenides

Roth captures and encapsulates Europe in those uncertain hours before the upheaval of a continent and the annihilation of a civilization.--Cynthia Ozick

A singular achievement of both journalism and literature.--Thane Rosenbaum

So consistently incisive that we devour the lot, compulsively, from cover to cover.--Amanda Hopkinson

Dazzling, elegiac, mordant and harrowingly oracular by turn.--George Prochnik

Brilliantly perceptive, beautifully crafted and often dripping with mordant wit.--Toby Lichtig

Joseph Roth has emerged as one of the greatest, certainly the most prescient, of the German writers of the entre-deux guerres'.

Roth's journalism creates a vivid sense of a continent on the brink of change.

This wonderful selection of journalism from the Weimar years, a period Roth spent in Paris, Germany and on the road, displays genius from every angle, as a rebel, a loyalist and a man of compassion.--Jan Morris

Roth's hotel years came to an abrupt end in the Old World. Thankfully, his account of them, and of the turbulent cross-currents of his age, live on in exquisite collections such as this one.--Malcolm Forbes

Reseña del editor:

The Hotel Years gathers sixty-four feuilletons: on hotels; pains and pleasures; personalities; and the deteriorating international situation of the 1930s. Never before translated into English, these pieces begin in Vienna just at the end of the First World War, and end in Paris near the outbreak of the Second World War. Roth, the great journalist of his day, needed journalism to survive: in his six-volume collected works in German, there are three of fiction and three of journalism. Beginning in 1921, Roth wrote mostly for the liberal Frankfurter Zeitung who sent him on assignments throughout Germany - the inflation, the occupation, political assassinations - and abroad, to the USSR, Italy, Poland and Albania. And always: “I celebrate my return to lobby and chandelier, porter and chambermaid.”
