Rebellion

Rebellion, the last of Joseph Roth's novels to be translated into English, captures the cynicism and upheavals of a postwar society.Moving along at a breakneck clip, its jazz-like cadences mix with trenchant, albeit fantastic, social commentary to create a wise parable about justice and society.AUTHORBIO: JOSEPH ROTH was born in Galicia in 1894.

In 1933 he emigrated to Paris, where he spent the rest of his life among a community of intellectual exiles.He died in 1939.
