At the close of the Great War, a captured Austrian soldier escapes Siberia and sets off in search of his fiance, her photograph sewn into the lining of his coat. But the old order has vanished, and he is swept along on the current of revolution: first surrendering to his love for a Red Army beauty, then drifting phantom-like through Europe’s cities. Here Joseph Roth tells one of his most personal stories – that of a man cast adrift in a changed world.
