Aunt Jolesch

In a poignant and witty style, Friedrich Torberg draws from his own memories to create a portrait of the charming, long-gone world of the former Habsburg Empire and the Jewish bohemia in Budapest, Prague, and Vienna. At the same time, he brings a fascinating chapter of cultural history to life in a new light and with old splendor. Once again, the spirit of an entire era is evoked, telling of all the great and small people who frequented the coffee houses of the Habsburg metropolises. Torberg himself calls this collection of stories from a bygone era a "book of melancholy" in his foreword, yet it is a cheerful, smiling melancholy that shines through his polished, insightful, and witty anecdotes.
