«Panoptikum. Gestalten und Kulissen» is a collection of chronicles and observations by Joseph Roth, published by dtv in paperback (131 pages, in German).
In these chronicles, Joseph Roth portrays scenes and figures of urban life at the beginning of the 20th century. From a melancholic and sharp perspective, he turns the everyday into reflections on the human condition; most of the texts come from Roth's collaboration with the Frankfurter Zeitung.
The work was originally published in 1930; this 1989 edition corresponds to number 11070 of the dtv series.
For readers of classic German literature and journalistic chronicle with literary value.
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.
