Description:Flight Without EndFlight Without End tells the story of a young ex-officer of the Austro-Hungarian army in the 1914-18 War, who makes his way back from captivity in Siberia and service with the Bolshevik army, only to find that the old order that shaped him has crumbled and there is no place for him in the new "European" culture that has taken its place.
Weights and MeasuresAt the insistence of his wife, Eibenschütz leaves his job as an artilleryman in the Austro-Hungarian army for a civilian job as the Inspector of Weights and Measures. Here, in a remote territory near the Russian border, he finds his principles and the rectitude he brings to his trade duties are at odds with a host of smugglers, profiteers and petty crooks. In a frontier town where the law is seen to interfere with the lives of ordinary people, Eibenschütz discovers that his integrity is not as incorruptible as he at first imagined. Spending more and more hours at the tavern, he is drawn hopelessly to a beautiful gypsy woman, Euphemia. Meanwhile his enemy, Jadlowker, an unprincipled profiteer, continues to make the tavern a beacon for local smuggling activity . . .

The Silent ProphetThe Silent Prophet is the result of Joseph Roth’s visit to Moscow in 1926 when speculation about the fate of Trotsky was rife. Roth refered to this work as his ‘Trotsky novel’, but the experiences of the book’s hero, the Trotsky-like Friederich Kargan, are as recognisably those of a less well-known Jewish outsider, a perpetual exile searching for a place in the new Europe and a set of values to counter his own scepticism and growing disallusionment — Joseph Roth himself.
