The war spoil Joseph Roth
The war spoil Joseph Roth
are often "The Capuchin Crypt" and "Radetzky March" , both of Joseph Roth , mentioned in the same breath, the present, in 1938 published novel mostly in the shadow of "Radetzky March" from 1932 stands. Completely wrong, so strictly speaking "The Capuchin Crypt" the pointed and logical consequence, which results from "Radetzky March". Both novels have a common intersection of the demise of Austria-Hungary by the First World War . But "The Capuchin Tomb" is a political novel without losing its literary quality. He is also a special kind of anti-war novel, he does not need to imagine the brutal reality of war, it is enough, the consequences of the First World War for the insecure and disoriented people in the former Danube monarchy to describe, to condemn the First World War and to warn against further. As we know, all reminders of Joseph Roth, the brilliant war spoil ultimately not helpful and the Second World War began three months after his death on 5/27/1939. The extraordinary literary value of the complete works of Joseph Roth, however, does not diminish.
