Kort voor sy dood in die 1980’s gee Stefan Hertmans se oupa aan sy
kleinseun ’n paar volgeskrewe ou dagboekies. Jare lank durf
Hertmans dit nie oopmaak en lees nie – tot op ’n dag dat hy dit wel
doen en meer as een geheim daarin ontdek. Hy lees van sy oupa se
armoedige kinderjare in Gent voor 1900, van sy gruwelike ervarings
as frontsoldaat in die Eerste Wereldoorlog en ’n vroeg gestorwe
groot liefde. Na die oorlog sit sy oupa sy lewe voort deur sy
verdriet te probeer wegskilder. Stefan Hertmans se jare lange
fassinasie met sy oupa se lewe bring hom uiteindelik tot die skryf
van hierdie roman.
'One of the greatest novels ever written' Philippe Sands Set
against the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The
Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family,
tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a
sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise,
tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve
of World War One, when all is set to fall apart. Rich, epic and
profoundly moving, The Radetzky March is Joseph Roth's timeless
masterpiece.
