ReviewsA masterpiece . . . The totality of Joseph Roth's work is no less than a tragdie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction. No other contemporary writer, not excepting Thomas Mann, has come close to achieving the wholeness . . . that Lukcs cites as our impossible aim., One of the most readable, poignant, and superb novels in twentieth-century German: it stands with the best of Thomas Mann, Alfred Dblin, and Robert Musil., One of the best books I've ever read. This is one I'll be thinking about for a long time. . . . The story it tells is a universal one . . . It is a story about the effect of time on all human institutions and ways of seeing the world. It's impossible to read Radetzky without wondering if our own liberal democratic institutions and ways of ordering our experiences are declining as surely as the Austro-Hungarian monarchy . . . This is going to be a book that takes time to absorb. I cannot recommend it to you strongly enough., Deeply moving . . . in terms of an evocation of a certain mindset and a certain feeling of estrangement, it's really great., A masterpiece . . . The totality of Joseph Roth's work is no less than a tragédie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction. No other contemporary writer, not excepting Thomas Mann, has come close to achieving the wholeness . . . that Lukács cites as our impossible aim., One of the most readable, poignant, and superb novels in twentieth-century German: it stands with the best of Thomas Mann, Alfred Döblin, and Robert Musil.
