About This Item
Norton, 2003. Hardback & DJ. Very good. 226 pages Weimar Berlin through the eyes of the author of Radetzky March and Job. Michael Hofmann's expert translation of the "poem on every page" (Brodsky) collection of essays, Joseph Roth in Berlin: Ein Lesebuch fur Spazierganger (ed. Michael Bienert). The essays are divided into nine sections by the editor. The first ("What I saw") consists of "Going for a Walk", a wonderful contribution to Stadtspaziergangliteratur (cf. Walser's "The Walk"); the last, ("Look Back in Anger"), of the unforgettable "The Auto-da-Fe of the Mind", Roth's contemporary account (written in the fall of 1933 in Paris--in French!) of the Nazi book burnings. In between one finds four (or more) essays on each of these topics: The Jewish Quarter, Displaced Persons, Traffic, Berlin under Construction, Bourgeoisie and Bohemians, Berlin's Pleasure Industry, and An Apolitical Observer goes to the Reichstag.
