Flight Without End

By Joseph Roth
Translated by David Le Vay and Beatrice Musgrave.

"One of the greatest writers of the first half of the tormented 20th century" —Simon Schama

"A master of German prose… Roth understood the subtler acts of violence that war enacts upon the mind" —Spectator

At the close of the Great War, a captured Austrian soldier escapes Siberia and sets off in search of his fiancée, her photograph sewn into the lining of his coat. But the old order has vanished, and he is swept along on the current of revolution: first surrendering to his love for a Red Army beauty, then drifting phantom-like through Europe’s cities.

Here, Joseph Roth tells one of his most personal stories—that of a man cast adrift in a changed world.
