Joseph Roth, a Central European Jewish writer and lucid witness to the decline of a world, transforms a seven-story hotel into the perfect metaphor for the broken hopes of an entire generation. Upon his return from the prisoner-of-war camps in Siberia, Gabriel Dan arrives in a border town in Eastern Europe with a single hope: to get some money and continue his journey to the West. Before him stands the Hotel Savoy, a gigantic seven-story building that, with its golden coat of arms and false elegance, encloses a world in ruins: that of all those who arrived one day and could never leave.
