In 'Hotel Savoy', Joseph Roth introduces us to a young Viennese Jew who, after being released from a prisoner camp at the end of the First World War, finds himself in a hotel with a disconcerting and illusory atmosphere. Through his coexistence with the various characters who inhabit the hotel, the protagonist begins a particular learning of life. With his ironic, critical and poetic style, Roth immerses us in the bustling atmosphere of this unique hotel, exploring themes such as identity, loss and the search for meaning in a convulsed world.
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.
