Joseph Roth (1894–1939) is a famous Austrian writer who created a wide panorama of life in Europe after the First World War in his novels. Roth's prose is distinguished by the clarity and transparency characteristic of the realistic tradition, subtle humor and irony. The collection includes the most significant novels of the writer. The novel “Job” tells about the fate of the family of the small-town religious teacher Singer, who, in search of luck, leaves their home for illusory happiness in distant America. In the novel `Radetzky's March', the writer, tracing the history of three generations of the Trotta family, devoted servants of the Austrian crown, paints a picture of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
