«Juden auf Wanderschaft» is Joseph Roth's essay on the Jewish diaspora, published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in paperback (84 pages, in German).
Roth portrays with closeness and irony the culture of Eastern European Jews: their cities, festivals, miracle rabbis, weddings and synagogues, and also the misery that drove so many to emigrate. The second part describes the new homes of these emigrants in the Jewish quarters of Vienna, Berlin, Paris and New York.
Work originally published in 1927. This 1985 edition belongs to the KiWi Taschenbücher collection (No. 81).
For readers interested in history, Jewish culture and migratory movements in 20th-century Europe.
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.
