Description

“Epic . . . brilliantly achieved.” (New York Times Book Review)

The Radetzky March, Joseph Roth’s classic saga of the privileged von Trotta family, encompasses the entire social fabric of the Austro-Hungarian Empire just before World War I.

The author’s greatest achievement, The Radetzky March is an unparalleled portrait of a civilization in decline, and as such a universal story for our times.

This is a high-quality edition featuring an introduction from Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer and translated by the acclaimed Joachim Neugroschel, who was the winner of three PEN Translation Awards.
