JOB by Joseph Roth 1 

JOB - novel of a simple man Joseph Roth
This modern retelling of the Biblical story charts the fate of a family of Russian Jews, the family of Mendel Singer, in the decades preceding and the years following the First World War.
“Jospeh Roth’s novels transpire in a world that is no longer: the world of Eastern Jewry, as Roth describes it in Job, existed up to 1940: in that year the murderers swept it away. Thus Joseph Roth’s work is not only poetry and great prose, it is also a documentation of everyday Jewish life, such as is seldom to be found.”
Heinrich Böll
