Editorial Review:
The Collected Stories, in its variety and force, is the essential introduction to the fiction of Joseph Roth.
Appearing in English for the first time, The Collected Stories of Joseph Roth includes seventeen novellas and stories that echo the intensity and achievement of his greatest novel, The Radetzky March.

Roth's novellas and short stories will rank with Chekhov's as among the greatest of modern literature.
