About this listen

The Emperor's Tomb is a magically evocative, haunting elegy to the vanished world of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and to the passing of time and the loss of youth and friends. Prophetic and regretful, intuitive and exact, Roth's acclaimed novel is the tale of one man's struggle to come to terms with the uncongenial society of post-First World War Vienna and the first intimations of Nazi barbarities.

Most relevant

The book follows through the First World War the cousin of Heer Von Trottar from 'The Radetzky March' it isn't as hopeful but has overarching message that is felt throughout. It is a must for anyone interested in the Imperial Austrian era and the lead up to WW1 and the effects felt there after.

Fantastic narration
