The Radetzky March
The Radetzky March
Set in the declining years of the Hapsburg Empire, The Radetzky March follows the story of the Trotta family through three generations. This touching drama of parents and children encompasses both personal relationships and political structures: fathers and sons, the state and its citizens, an emperor and his subjects, men and their deeds. It thereby becomes a study of how individuals relate – or fail to relate – to the grand implacable processes of history, processes which Joseph Roth invests with humour and tragic irony.
