1919: After escaping from Russian captivity during the war, soldier Franz Tunda makes his way through Eastern Europe to Austria. On his odyssey, he first falls into the hands of the White Army and then the Red Army, finds love and parts ways in Georgia, and finally ends up in Vienna. Always searching for stability, he continues to drift from place to place, from one woman to the next. Yet, no matter where he goes, the young man finds no place for himself in the orderly post-war world. Actor Karl Walter Diess interprets Joseph Roth's laconic observations with great warmth and sensitivity. Unabridged reading with Karl Walter Diess, 1 mp3-CD, approximately 4 hours and 9 minutes.
