From the celebrated author of The Radetzky March comes the tragic story of a WWI officer caught in the tumult of a world on the verge of modernity. Â As an Austro-Hungarian officer on the Eastern Front of World War I, Franz Tunda was captured by the Russians and sent to Siberia. Dreaming of a return to his life in Vienna, he escapes from prisonâonly to get caught up in the Russian Revolution, fall in love, and fight for the Bolshevik cause. Â Upon finally returning to Europe, Tunda finds that the old order is gone and the Europe he once knew has changed utterly. Disillusioned and without a land to call home, Joseph Rothâs tragic hero is a masterful expression of the archetypal modern man taken up by the currents of history. |
