{"product_id":"joseph-roth-joseph-roth-9780393060645","title":"Joseph Roth: A Life in Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003eWho would have thought that seventy-three years after Joseph Roth's lonely death in Paris, new editions of his translations would be appearing regularly? Roth, a transcendent novelist who also produced some of the most breathtakingly lyrical journalism ever written, is now being discovered by a new generation. Nine years in the making, this life through letters provides us with our most extensive portrait of Roth's calamitous life--his father's madness, his wife's schizophrenia, his parade of mistresses (each more exotic than the next), and his classic westward journey from a virtual Hapsburg shtetl to Vienna, Berlin, Frankfurt, and finally Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContaining 457 newly translated letters, along with eloquent introductions that richly frame Roth's life, this book brilliantly evokes the crumbling specters of the Weimar Republic and 1930s France. Displaying Roth's ceaselessly inventive powers, it finally charts his descent into despair at a time when \"the word had died, [and] men bark like dogs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393060640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393060645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
