The Coral Merchant : Essential Stories

New translations of the greatest short stories by Joseph Roth, collected in a beautiful edition

Joseph Roth's sensibility - both clear-eyed and nostalgic, harshly realistic and tenderly humane - produced some of the most distinctive fiction of the twentieth century. This selection of his finest shorter work, in exquisite new translations by Ruth Martin, showcases Roth's peerless skill as an observer of social discord and individual frailty.

A coral merchant, longing for the sea, chooses to adulterate his wares with false corla, with catastrophic results; young Fini, just entering the haze of early sexuality, falls into an unsatisfying relationship with an older musician. In prose of fluid beauty and wry precision, Roth shows us isolated souls pursuing lost ideals in the Austro-Hungarian empire's dying days.

JOSEPH ROTH was born into a Jewish family in the small town of Brody in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. He studied first in Lemberg and then in Vienna, and served in the Austrian army during the first World War. He later worked a a journalist in Vienna and Berlin, travelling widely, staying in hotels and living out of suitcases while also being a prolific writer of fiction, including the novels Job (1930) and The Radetsky March (1932). Roth left Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933 and settled in Paris. He collapsed at the Café Touron in May 1939 and died shortly after.

    Joseph Roth

    Joseph Roth (1894–1939) föddes i en judisk familj i dåvarande Österrike-Ungern. Som ung var han socialist men med åren kom han att bli konservativ, och framhöll fördelarna med den så kallade dubbelmonarkin som han växt upp under. Roth ansåg att statsbildningen genom sin multietniska grund stod som garant för utsatta folkgruppers rättigheter. Under bokbålen i Tyskland på 1930-talet brändes många exemplar av hans verk och Roth avled som politisk flykting i Paris.
