[Quote taken from the back cover] *** Joseph Roth (1894-1939), was an Austrian writer and journalist. He was forced out of his country because of the rise of Nazism. ***The novel (Tarabas: A Guest on Earth, in English) is a fable set early in the Russian Revolution. "Tarabas" is the story of a Russian peasant who, in his youth, is told by a gypsy that it is his destiny to be both a murderer and saint. "Tarabas", a later novel, was written when Roth was living in exile in Paris. Five years later, an alcoholic, he died in a Paris hospital.

Most of them are fairly transient, comments on the ascent and fall of a balloon or two trial cases or restaurant music or the theater or one or two public figures long forgotten (Briand, Jaures) or a dinner or a party or a cemetery in Montmartre, 'so many dead. . . so lightly clad with wood, with lead and earth'. In the closing one sided dialogues between Colette and her godchild or her hairdresser or her corset maker (particularly this one) she is at her sophisticated ingenuous charming best. By French author and woman of letters Colette (Sidonie Gabrielle Colette, 1873-1954).
