About this ebook
Joseph Roth
Joseph Roth (1894-1939) nació en Brody, un pueblo situado hoy en Ucrania, que por entonces pertenecía a la Galitzia Oriental, provincia del viejo Imperio austrohúngaro. El escritor, hijo de una mujer judía cuyo marido desapareció antes de que él naciera, vio desmoronarse la milenaria corona de los Habsburgo y cantó el dolor por «la patria perdida» en narraciones como Fuga sin fin, La cripta de los Capuchinos o las magníficas novelas Job y La Marcha Radetzky. En El busto del emperador describió el desarraigo de quienes vieron desmembrarse aquella Europa cosmopolita bajo el odio de la guerra. En su lápida quedaron reflejadas su procedencia y profesión: «Escritor austriaco muerto en París».

Reviews for Confession of a Murderer
49 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Intriguing story, spys, affairs - unexpected ending in some ways.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A strange little tale that ties itself up and finally concedes defeat by its conclusion.It takes place in a seedy European bar, with a would-be murderer relating his crime, and the reasons for it, to an assembled crowd of drunkards and societal detritus.The telling is far better than the story being told, and the ending? What a shame.
