The Hotel Years

Wanderings in Europe between the Wars
A tender, unsettling collection of writing capturing a continent on the brink of further upheaval.
'A hugely significant and wonderfully haunting collection' William BoydIn the 1920s and 1930s, Joseph Roth travelled extensively in Europe, living in hotels and writing about the towns through which he passed and the people he encountered. Collected in one volume, his experiences in Italy, Germany, Russia, Albania and Ukraine form a series of tender vignettes that capture life in the inter-war years. Evocative, curious and sharply observed, these literary postcards document a continent clinging to tradition while on the brink of further upheaval.
