El Leviatán is a novel by author Joseph Roth, published in 1992 by Siruela. The story follows Nissen Piczenik, a coral merchant who loves authentic corals but succumbs to the temptation of fake celluloid corals. The novel explores themes of authenticity, betrayal, and the consequences of giving up on dreams. With poetic prose and a simple narrative, Roth offers a parable about the fragility of life and the inevitability of fate.
Moses Joseph Roth was a Austro-Hungarian journalist and novelist, best known for his family saga Radetzky March (1932), about the decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, his novel of Jewish life Job (1930) and his seminal essay "Juden auf Wanderschaft", a fragmented account of the Jewish migrations from eastern to western Europe in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. In the 21st century, publications in English of Radetzky March and of collections of his journalism from Berlin and Paris created a revival of interest in Roth.
