The Radetzky March

Joseph Roth

"Epic . . . brilliantly achieved." (New York Times Book Review)

The Radetzky March, Joseph Roth's classic saga of the privileged von Trotta family, encompasses the entire social fabric of the Austro-Hungarian Empire just before World War I.

The author's greatest achievement, The Radetzky March is an unparalleled portrait of a civilization in decline, and as such a universal story for our times.

This is a high-quality edition featuring an introduction from Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer and translated by the acclaimed Joachim Neugroschel, who was the winner of three PEN Translation Awards.

Praise for this book

Epic . . . brilliantly achieved.
Deeply moving . . . in terms of an evocation of a certain mindset and a certain feeling of estrangement, it's really great.--Jennifer Szalai
A nostalgic yet deeply moving portrait of a decaying civilization.
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.--Harold Bloom
