Joseph Roth, the greatest European newspaper correspondent of his
age, left the splintering Weimar Republic for Paris in 1925 and, as
an Austrian Jew, was exiled there for the rest of his life.
Collected together here for the first time in English, these
exhilarating pieces evoke a world of suppleness, beauty and
promise. From the port town of Marseilles to the Riviera of Nice
and Monte Carlo, to the exotic hill country around Avignon, from
the socialist workers and cattlemen with whom Roth ate breakfast,
to prostitutes and Sunday bullfighters, The White Cities is not
only a swan song to a European order that could no longer hold but
also a beautifully crafted and revelatory work.
