About this title

Synopsis

The Radetzky March charts the history of the Trotta family through three generations from 1859 to 1916. The decadence and impending collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are described in beautifully crafted and vivid language. Through the Battle of Solferino to the entombment of the last Hapsburg emperor, Roth's intelligent compassion illuminates the crumbling of an empire.

About the Author

Joseph Roth (1894-1939) was the great elegist of the cosmopolitan, tolerant and doomed Central European culture that flourished in the dying days of the Austrian Empire. He wrote thirteen novels, including The Radetzky March and The String of Pearls.
