Joseph Roth's The Emperor's Tomb is a continuation of the saga of the von Trotta family from The Radetzky March.

This novel presents both a powerful, moving look at a decaying society and its journey through World War I and its devastating aftermath, and a story of the erosion of one man's desperate faith in the virtues of a simple life.

"Roth details without pity the inner life of the authentic self." --New York Times

Praise for this book

"Roth's swift style makes things happen naturally. We see, hear, smell, and believe. A spell is cost by this cousin to Kafka and Milan Kundera."
