Flight without End by Joseph Roth
In perhaps his most personal novel, Joseph Roth tells the story of Franz Tunda, an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, who disappears in Siberia at the end of the First World War. After 10 years of fighting with the Bolsheviks, having affairs with beautiful communists, and eking out a living at the edge of the world, on his eventual return to his native Austria, Franz Tunda finds the old European order has vanished, and there is no place for him any more in the new culture that has taken its place. Everywhere he finds himself an outsider, consigned to a life of social and cultural isolation. Mirroring Roth's own experience of exile, Flight Without End reflects the predicament of the disaffected intellectual who can find no role for himself in a changed world.

JOSEPH ROTH (1894-1939) was an Austrian novelist, essayist, journalist, and publisher. An outspoken critic of Hitler and militarism, he moved to Paris in 1933. Roth's novels include What I Saw, The Legend of the Holy Drinker, Right and Left, The Emperor's Tomb, The String of Pearls, and The Radetzky March, an ironic portrait of the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that is considered to be his masterpiece.
