Description
Napoleon's return to the throne in Paris, as imagined by the incomparable Joseph Roth.
"The totality of Joseph Roth's work is no less than a tragédie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction."
"There is a poem on every page of Joseph Roth."
"This is not perhaps the real Napoleon, but it's certainly a remarkable creation that leaps off the page."
"What a marvelous writer! Read him now, you can thank me later."
Joseph Roth (1894-1939) was the great elegist of the cosmopolitan culture that flourished in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He published several books and articles before his untimely death at the age of 44. Roth’s writing has been admired by J. M. Coetzee, Jeffrey Eugenides, Elie Wiesel, and Nadine Gordimer, among many others. Richard Panchyk has published twenty-three books, including translations of three Joseph Roth novels: The Antichrist, The Hundred Days, and Perlefter.
