Flight without End (German: Die Flucht ohne Ende) is a 1927 novel by the Austrian writer Joseph Roth.The novel is set in the period between August 1916 and 27 August 1926. It starts in the city of Irkutsk and ends in Paris. During his journey the protagonist lives in Ukraine, Baku, Vienna and an unspecified German university town on the Rhine. The novel starts with protagonist Franz Tunda, born 1894, escaping confinement in Russia and finding a home with Baranowicz from Poland, who lives in Werchne-Udisnk. In the spring of 1919 the lieutenant hears of the end of the war and decides to go to Vienna to meet his fiancee, Miss Irene Hartmann. By September Tunda has made it to Ukraine. Caught up in the Russian Civil War, he first falls into the hands of the White Army, but later he ends up with the Red Army. Tunda falls in love with his supervisor, a Russian woman named Natascha Alexandrowna, becomes a revolutionary himself and gives passionate speeches in support of Communism.Later, in Moscow, Tunda has to manage his postwar life. He is asked to join the Communist Party, but leaves to Georgia and falls in love with a woman called Alja. They get married in Baku. Tunda takes care of a French delegation from Paris, shows them around and sleeps with Mrs. G., the only woman in the delegation. Later he is regarded as a spy by the French. When saying goodbye, Mrs G. tells Tunda her address in France. Tunda leaves his wife, gets Austrian identity papers and later lives in Vienna on unemployment benefit. He misses his home in Siberia just as much as he misses to Irene.On his way to Paris, he visits his brother, a well-off bandmaster who lives in the Rhineland, but they don't have anything to talk about.Tunda publishes a book about his experiences and sends his wife in Baku a bit of money. In Paris, he meets Mrs G. again, but everyone in France seems to know that he is broke. Tunda and Irene pass each other once, but neither recognizes the other. Baranowicz writes a letter from Siberia: Alja has just arrived at his place and they are both waiting for Tunda. Tunda can now go back to the region of Irkutsk but he doesn't know what to do. The novel was adapted into a 1985 film directed by Michael Kehlmann.A stage adaptation by Steve Waters was performed at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in May 2006. (wikipedia.org)

"Andreas Pum, having lost his leg in the war, is rewarded with a permit to support himself by playing a barrel organ in the streets. At first the simple-minded veteran is entirely satisfied with his lot, and he even finds a widow to marry. But then a quarrel on a tram turns Andreas's life onto a rapid downward trajectory. As he loses first his beggar's permit, then his new wife, and even his freedom, he is finally provoked into rejecting his blind faith in the benevolence of the powers that govern his life"--Inside jacket.

A new translation by Michael Hofmann of one of Roth's most acclaimed novels; an elegy to the vanished world of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

From Joseph Roth, an allegorical yet decidedly modern novelist, comes this story of postwar disillusion, the limits of faith, and "personal fate as governed by the blind, casual workings of a machine controlled by no one and for which no one is responsible" (The New York Times).When Andreas Pum returns from World War I, he has lost a leg but gained a medal. But unlike his fellow sufferers, Pum maintains his unswerving faith in God, Government, and Authority. Ironically, after a dispute, Pum is imprisoned as a rebel, and all that he believed in is now thrown into upheaval. Moving along at a breakneck clip, Rebellion captures the cynicism and upheavals of a postwar society. Its jazz-like cadences mix with social commentary to create a wise parable about justice and society.

One of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in German history, documented by one of the country's greatest writers

Der Niedergang einer Familie, der den Zerfall der Osterreich-Ungarischen Monarchie widerspiegelt: Uber drei Generationen wird die Geschichte der Familie Trotta erzahlt, die es zunachst schafft, aus armlichen Verhaltnissen in den Adelsstand erhoben zu werden. Doch in der dritten Generation folgt der bittere Abstieg, der mit dem Ende der Doppelmonarchie einhergeht. Johann Strauss' titelgebender Radetzkymarsch zieht sich dabei durch die gesamte Erzahlung.-

Roths bekanntester Roman versetzt die Hiob-Geschichte nach Ostgalizien: Den judisch-orthodoxen Lehrer Mendel Singer treffen schwere Schicksalsschlage, die seine Familie betreffen.

This tale of an alcoholic is a secular, miracle story, that describes the fortunes of a vagrant who, after living under bridges, has a series of lucky breaks that lift him briefly onto a different plane of existence.

'The Radetzky March can fairly claim to be one of the great novels of the last century. Its theme, beautifully articulated, is the end of an era. Roth's anthem for a vanished world has the intense, fleeting beauty of a sunset' Sunday Telegraph

At the end of the Great War, Andreas Pum has lost a leg but at least he has a medal and a barrel-organ which he plays on the streets of Vienna. At first the simple-minded veteran is satisfied with his lot, and he even finds an ample widow to marry. But then a public quarrel with a respectable citizen on a tram turns Andreas's life onto a rapid downward trajectory. As he loses first his beggar's permit, then his new wife, and even his freedom, he is finally provoked into rejecting his blind faith in the benevolence of both government and God.

Ein ehemaliger Spitzel der zaristischen Geheimpolizei spricht über sein Leben, je länger der Abend wird: Semjon Golubtschik, ein illegitimer Sohn des Fürsten Krapotkin, erzählt anderen russischen Emigranten in einem Pariser Restaurant, wie er zum Mörder wurde. Dabei geht es um den Hass auf seinen adligen Halbbruder, die Liebe zur schönen Annette Leclaire (Lutetia) und schließlich den Mord, der vielleicht doch keiner war. Denn auf einmal betritt eine Person aus seiner Vergangenheit das Lokal...Joseph Roth (1894-1939), der in Galizien aufwuchs, war ein österreichisch-jüdischer Schriftsteller und Journalist.
