Synopsis
Flight Without End tells the story of a young ex-officer of the Austro-Hungarian army in the 1914-18 War, who makes his way back from captivity in Siberia and service with the Bolshevik army, only to find that the old order that shaped him has crumbled and there is no place for him in the new "European" culture that has taken its place.

[Quote taken from the back cover] *** Joseph Roth (1894-1939), was an Austrian writer and journalist. He was forced out of his country because of the rise of Nazism. ***The novel (Tarabas: A Guest on Earth, in English) is a fable set early in the Russian Revolution. "Tarabas" is the story of a Russian peasant who, in his youth, is told by a gypsy that it is his destiny to be both a murderer and saint. "Tarabas", a later novel, was written when Roth was living in exile in Paris. Five years later, an alcoholic, he died in a Paris hospital. [Wiki] ***First impression of the uncommon first UK paperback edition of Roth's first book to originally appear in English in 1930. Of interest to collectors of the work of Joseph Roth. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # PB387
