«La noche mil dos» is the novel by Joseph Roth, published by Editorial Anagrama in the Compactos collection (200 pages, in Spanish).
In the spring of the nineteenth century, the Shah of Persia, sick with melancholy, travels to Vienna in search of pleasure. At a ball he takes a fancy to a countess, but the police replace the lady with Mizzi, a young prostitute identical to her. What seems like a courtly anecdote becomes a chronicle of Viennese society, naive and cynical, whose lives are trapped in a game of appearances that ends in ruin.
It is part of Anagrama's Compactos collection, as volume 47. Translation by Juan José Solar.
For readers of twentieth-century Central European narrative and fiction portraying the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
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.
