Many of his contemporaries knew him as a journalist who began writing novels in the mid-twenties: Joseph Roth. After World War II, he was rediscovered primarily as a novelist, recognized as a master of impressionistic storytelling. This edition now offers, for the first time, a representative selection from Joseph Roth's extensive journalistic work: His reports, essays, and feuilletons are characterized by a high linguistic awareness and imaginative precision, marked by keen perception and passionate subjectivity: "Everything becomes personal for me," Roth wrote about his journalistic work. The best texts of this now lesser-known feuilletonist are arranged here chronologically, revealing the great storyteller behind the journalistic form time and again.
