The Emperors Tomb

The Emperors Tomb is a magically evocative, haunting elegy to the vanished world of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and to the passing of time and the loss of youth and friends. Prophetic and regretful, intuitive and exact, Roths acclaimed novel is the tale of one mans struggle to come to terms with the uncongenial society of post-First World War Vienna and the first intimations of Nazi barbarities.
