Three Novellas

This collection showcases the renowned author's "genius for metaphor, his compassionate irony, and his historical and psychological insight" (The Wall Street Journal).

Austrian author Joseph Roth was one of Europe's most powerful and perceptive literary voices during the turbulent period between WWI and WWII. This collection presents three of his most enduring works of fiction. "The Legend of the Holy Drinker" tells the story of a dissolute vagrant who is uplifted for a short time by a series of miracles. Written in the final days of Roth's life, it is a novella of sparkling lucidity and humanity. "Fallmerayer the Stationmaster" and "The Bust of the Emperor" are Roth's most acclaimed works of shorter fiction.
