Joseph Roth (1894-1939)
The Austrian novelist - author of ' The Radetzky March ' - as remembered by some of his friends and contemporaries.
A portrait written and compiled by EVA TUCKER
After knowing Roth I saw the Bible and the stories of the great figures of the Old Testament in a different light than I saw them before. Here came a man who was in the best sense of the word, a prophet of the holy scriptures, and this perhaps was one of the decisive elements of his greatness as a writer.'
