Joseph Rothとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Joseph Roth, born Moses Joseph Roth (September 2, 1894 in Brody – May 27, 1939 in Paris), was an Austrian journalist and novelist, best known for his family saga Radetzky March (1932) about the decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and for his novel of Jewish life, Job (1930) as well as the seminal essay 'Juden auf Wanderschaft' (1927) translated in English as The Wandering Jews, a fragmented account about the Jewish migrations from eastern to western Europe in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. In the 21st century, publications in English of Radetzky March and of collections of his journalism from Berlin and Paris created a revival of interest in the author. He committed suicide in 1939.
