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.
