书籍简介

约瑟夫·罗特的感性——清晰的目光和怀旧的情怀，严酷的现实和温柔的人道——产生了二十世纪一些很特别的小说。这本由露丝·马丁精心翻译的他重要的故事集展示了他的短篇小说和中篇小说的惊人范围和力量。

罗特以痛楚的美感和准确的散文，向我们展示了追求失落的理想和不可能的欲望的孤立的灵魂。一个古怪的老伯爵被迫从他的房子里搬走了奥地利亡国皇帝的半身像，他为半身像举行了葬礼，并打算把自己埋在同一块土地上；一个卑微的珊瑚商人对自己的生活不满意，渴望着大海，他选择用假珊瑚掺杂他的商品，导致了灾难性的后果；年轻的菲尼刚刚进入早期性行为的阴霾，与一个老音乐家陷入了令人不满的关系。罗斯以精湛的技艺和敏锐的洞察力，展现了人类心灵的许多脆弱之处。

Joseph Roth's sensibility-both clear-eyed and nostalgic, harshly realistic and tenderly humane-produced some of the most distinctive fiction of the twentieth century. This collection of his most essential stories, in exquisite new translations by Ruth Martin, showcases the astonishing range and power of his short stories and novellas.

In prose of aching beauty and precision, Roth shows us isolated souls pursuing lost ideals and impossible desires. Forced to remove a bust of the fallen Austrian emperor from his house, an eccentric old count holds a funeral for it and intends to be buried in the same plot himself; a humble coral merchant, dissatisfied with his life and longing for the sea, chooses to adulterate his wares with false coral, with catastrophic results; young Fini, just entering the haze of early sexuality, falls into an unsatisfying relationship with an older musician. With the greatest craft and sensitivity, Roth unfolds the many fragilities of the human heart.
