«Las ciudades blancas» is Joseph Roth's book of reportage, published by Editorial Minuscula in paperback (100 pages, in Spanish).
In these chronicles, Joseph Roth travels through several cities in the south of France, fulfilling a childhood dream: to see the white cities he had imagined. Written after the Great War, the book mixes disillusionment with an unusual hope: the past splendour of these places inspires him to envision a future Europe of peaceful coexistence among peoples and beliefs.
First title in the Paisajes narrados collection. Translated from German by Adan Kovacsics. Original title: Die weissen Städte.
Aimed at readers interested in literary journalism, travel writing and the figure of Joseph Roth.
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.
