Sobre o autor(a)

Roth, Joseph

Nascido em 1894 em Brody, nos confins do Império Austro-Húngaro e atual Ucrânia, Joseph Roth é de origem judaica. Foi testemunha ocular das transformações sociais que agitaram a Europa Central, no período do entre guerras. Jornalista bem-sucedido desde que se instalou em Berlim em 1920, tinha personalidade nômade, a ponto de quase nunca ter tido um lar de fato (dizia-se que seus bens eram “três malas”). Na literatura, caracterizou-se pela prosa concisa e foi rotulado, também, de poeta do cotidiano, tendo tido muitas obras de ressonante repercussão, Casos de Jó (1930) e A Marcha de Radetzky (1932). Morre pouco após desabar no Café de Tournon, em Paris, em 1939.
