«El triunfo de la belleza» is a short story by Joseph Roth, published by Acantilado in paperback (80 pages, in Spanish).
A doctor admits that a certain wife's ailment is neither serious nor good, but something ordinary, and that he long ago stopped pitying husbands of sick women, whom he compares to incurable suicides. To explain this claim, he sets out to tell the story that led him to that conviction.
The book belongs to the Cuadernos del Acantilado collection, number 8. The translation is by Berta Vías Mahou. The original title is «Triumph der Schönheit» (1934).
Moses Joseph Roth was a Austro-Hungarian journalist and novelist, best known for his family saga Radetzky March (1932), about the decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, his novel of Jewish life Job (1930) and his seminal essay "Juden auf Wanderschaft", a fragmented account of the Jewish migrations from eastern to western Europe in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. In the 21st century, publications in English of Radetzky March and of collections of his journalism from Berlin and Paris created a revival of interest in Roth.
