[German] - Joseph Roth: Die Büste des Kaisers: Eine Novelle. Ungekürzt gelesen.
"Graf Franz Xaver Borstin ist zu Zeiten der Donaumonarchie der unbestrittene, gütige Herrscher über den kleinen Ort in Galizien, in dem seine Untertanen, Bauern, Handwerker, Juden und Christen, im besten Einverständnis miteinander leben – gestützt von der Philanthropie Borstins, dessen Verehrung für den Kaiser Franz Joseph allseits bekannt ist. Als dieser in Borstins Haus während eines Militärmanövers übernachtet, ist der Graf selig. Doch eines Tages ist der erste Weltkrieg vorbei, das Kaiserreich Geschichte – und Polen eine Republik. Borstin findet sich in eine Welt geworfen, die er nicht versteht – und nicht verstehen will..."

[Turkish] - Aziz Ayyaşın Efsanesi
"Paris'in soğuk köprülerinin altında, Seine Nehri'nin kıyısında, yaşamını sürdürmeye çalışan bir ayyaş olan Andreas Kartak'ın hikayesi anlatılır. Andreas'ın hayatı, ona hiç ummadığı bir anda yardım eli uzatan gizemli bir yabancının verdiği iki yüz frankla değişir. Ancak bu para, Andreas'a bir yük ve bir sınav haline gelir; geçmişle yüzleşme, sözünü yerine getirme ve ruhsal bir kurtuluş yolculuğuna dönüşür. Roth'un ustalıkla işlediği bu hikaye, bir insanın zayıflıkları ve umutlarının zarif bir portresidir. Andreas, tüm düşkünlüğüne rağmen onurunu ve borcunu ödeme çabasını sürdürürken, yaşamın beklenmedik mucizeleri ve zorlayıcı gerçekleriyle boğuşur. 'Aziz Ayyaşın Efsanesi', hayatta kaybolmuş olanlar için bile umudun var olduğunu ve her ruhun bir ikinci şansı hak ettiğini fısıldayan, dokunaklı ve derin bir öyküdür. Joseph Roth, 1930'ların Paris'inin atmosferini öylesine canlı ve içten bir şekilde yansıtır ki, okur kendini o köprülerin altında, Andreas'ın yanında bulur. 'Aziz Ayyaşın Efsanesi', umut, inanç ve insan onurunun derinliklerini araştıran, trajik ama aynı zamanda ruhu aydınlatan bir anlatıdır."
Joseph Roth (Author), Sedat Beriş (Narrator)
Audiobook
"“An almost perfect novel” — Rolling Stone A soldier travels through Europe on a doomed mission to track down his fiancée in this masterful and vivid evocation of life between the wars Franz Tunda, an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, is captured by the Russians in World War I. Imprisoned in Siberia, he escapes to a remote farm, hiding out in such deep cover that he only learns of the end of the war months after the final shots have been fired. When peace is at last declared, Tunda pulls out a crumpled photo of a fiancée he doesn’t know—Irene is simply a beautiful face who represents the world before—and sets off in search of home. But the old order has vanished, and Tunda finds himself swept along in the current of this new, terrifying world, surrendering to an impassioned love affair with a Russian revolutionary before drifting phantom-like through Europe’s cities. Meanwhile, Irene has made her own accommodation with the course of events, and grows ever more distant from the young woman in that photograph—that photograph carried next to Tunda’s breast across a decade and a continent, heading inexorably toward a confrontation with its original in interwar Paris. One of the most personal novels by the great eulogist of the Austro-Hungarian empire, this story melds wry humour and the experience of exile to reflect on the predicament of a man who can find no role for himself in a changed world."

Audiobook
"Untethered by the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, with it, the dwindling of his family’s name, Franz Ferdinand Trotta has few ambitions beyond frequenting the cafes and bars of Vienna. But in a rapidly changing and violent age, disinterest is not an option: as the first intimations of Nazi barbarities merge, Franz Ferdinand is drawn, inexorably, into the coming storm. Vivid and prophetic, Roth’s acclaimed novel is a stirring reflection on the passing of time, youth and disillusionment, and an elegy to a lost Europe. The Emperor’s Tomb is the sequel to The Radetzky March, one of the great masterpieces of 20th century German literature with some characters, and the narrative thread occasionally overlapping. It was written in the last period of Roth’s life, and though different in character – not least because it is told in first person – the shadow of the darkening colours of the end of an era is maintained. It is especially evocative in the exemplary and atmospheric translation by Michael Hofmann and the tone of David Rintoul’s reading. ‘Unforgettable, really great literature’ – William Boyd. ‘The carefully wrought work of a poet in full sympathy with his subject and his subject matter, in all its rootlessness, melancholy and ironic brevity.’ Economist"
Joseph Roth, Michael Hofmann (Author), David Rintoul (Narrator)
Audiobook
"Set during the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family, tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise, tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve of WWI, when all is set to fall apart. A rich and luminous masterpiece, moving, compassionate, witty and dramatic, The Radetzky March is one of the great reading pleasures of 20th-century literature. It is especially powerful in this translation by Michael Hofmann. 'For sheer, epic sweep, I love reading The Radetzky March by Joseph Roth, set in imperial Vienna. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jeremy Paxman 'Timeless... I re-read this book every two or three years, captivated anew by its low-key melancholia and its wry take on the human predicament' William Boyd, Mail on Sunday"

[Italian] - La Cripta dei Cappuccini
"Austria 1914. Il giovane Trotta, nobile per nomina, conduce la stessa vita leggera e vuota del resto della decadente nobile gioventù viennese, finché non conosce il cugino caldarrostaio Joseph Branco e l'amico di questi, il vetturino ebreo Manes Reisiger. Persuaso di trovare in loro la concretezza che ritiene gli manchi, allo scoppio della guerra si arruola nel loro reggimento e li segue fino in Galizia orientale, oggi Ucraina ma allora parte dello sterminato Impero austroungarico, e quindi in Siberia, che nel romanzo di Roth è una magica e remota isola di moralità e bontà. La sera in cui, quattro anni dopo, fa ritorno a casa, a Vienna cade una pioggia gelida. L'impero si è dissolto e l'Austria è ora solo tedesca; i prestiti di guerra sono andati in fumo, i nobili, incapaci di tutto, non hanno di che vivere e i musicisti di talento preferiscono votarsi al giornalismo. Ma la storia va al galoppo, il governo spara sugli operai e compaiono nuove uniformi. Dove mai trovare rifugio? © 2024 tracce srls"

"The Austrian writer Joseph Roth's first novel, 'Das Spinnennetz', 1923, intensely chronicles the development of a fascist and the first steps in his rise to power. It is a vivid portrait of the nationalist fervor and the struggle between Right and Left in Germany during the years immediately following the end of the Great War, or First World War. Two days after its serial publication in the Vienna Arbeiterzeitung ('The Worker'), Adolf Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff set in motion the Munich 'Beer Hall Putsch'. 'The Spiderweb' - here translated by the narrator - is a prophetic look into the political machinery that was to force its author into exile in France ten years later, where he died in 1939 at the age of 45."
Joseph Roth (Author), Leon Stephens (Narrator)
Audiobook
"Un ex combatiente condecorado por el gobierno obtiene una licencia para tocar el organillo en las calles de Viena. A pesar de su mala fortuna y su invalidez (perdió una pierna en la guerra), está convencido de que el mundo se rige siempre por un orden moral. Pero un pequeño incidente en el tranvía lo llevará a la cárcel, y allí su visión del mundo se trastoca notablemente. Publicada originalmente en 1924, La rebelión hurga en los oscuros mecanismos de la burocracia estatal y en las complejas relaciones entre los seres humanos."
