Summary: Truly great work!!
Comment:
The Radetzky March, first published in 1932, 16 years after the abdication of Habsburg rule is considered Joseph Roth's literary masterpiece. This work of fiction is craftily woven with allusion, allegory, irony, and foreshadowing throughout. It is a story of three generations of the Trotta family, their rise to nobility and demise with the empire.
I truly enjoyed this book published some 68 years ago. Personally, I think it truly superiour to most fiction books of today. The book keeps the reader interacting with the story and with the period in which it takes place. I am indebted to my professor who recommended this book as one possible outside reading to the traditional texts.
I HIGHLY recommend this this book!!!!!

Summary: one of the overlooked great novels of the twentieth century
Comment: a truly great book. often compared to his countryman and rough contemporary robert musil, roth in radetzky march at least more closely approaches tolstoy in his combination of historic sweep and close observation. sad, funny, sweet and tart with irony, roth conjures up the dwindling years of the hapsburgs with uncanny accuracy and deep sympathy. as you read, you watch a world die, first slowly, through administrative incompetence and intellectual ennui, then through catastrophic loss in war. a wonder of literature. god knows, there are few enough of them. read it. and read the rest of roth -- particularly "the emporer's tomb," a sort of sequel to this novel.
Rating: 5
Summary: read this in the original
Comment: if at all possible, read this book in the original, even if that means learning the German language first. this book, and everything else by Joseph Roth, will repay the effort.
