The Collected Stories, in its variety and force, is the essential introduction to the fiction of Joseph Roth.
Appearing in English for the first time, The Collected Stories of Joseph Roth includes seventeen novellas and stories that echo the intensity and achievement of his greatest novel, The Radetzky March. Spanning the entire range of Roth's brief life (1894-1939) and showcasing the breadth of his literary powers, this collection features many stories just recently discovered.

Coetzee, Jeffrey Eugenides, Elie Wiesel, and Nadine Gordimer, among many others.
