Item description from seller

A black coloured hardback book, with block white titles running along the spine, comes with nice clean, not price clipped dust jacket. This wonderful book is in fine condition and as its a used book, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. This book actually looks like its hardly been read or used. 527 pages all intact and nice tight binding. First Edition, published in 2022 by Granta Publishing, London. The mercurial, self mythologising novelist and journalist Joseph Roth, author of the 20th century masterpiece "The Radetzky March" was the finest observer and chronicler of his age. This book "Endless Flight" travels with Roth from his childhood in the town of Brody on the eastern edge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to an unsettled life spent roaming Europe between the wars, including spells in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. His decline mirrored the collapse of civilised Europe: in his last peripatetic decade, he opposed Nazism in Exile from Germany, his wife succumbed to schizophrenia and he died an alcoholic on the eve of the Second World War. Exploring the role of Roth's absent father in his imaginings, his attitude to his Jewishness and his restless search for home, Keiron Pim's gripping account of Roth's chaotic life speaks powerfully to us in our era of uncertainty, refugee crises, and rising ethno-nationalism. Published as Roth's works rapidly gain new readers and recognition, "Endless Flight" delivers a visceral yet sensitive portrait of his quest for belongings, and a riveting understanding of the brilliance and beauty of his work.
