    About this ebook

    Available in English for the first time, here is David Vogel’s previously unknown novel that had literary Israel abuzz when it was published in 2012, almost one hundred years after the author started working on it.

    David Vogel has long been regarded as a leading figure in modern Hebrew literature, and his work has been compared to that of Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, and Franz Kafka. Vogel was thought to have written only a single novel: his masterpiece, Married Life, which was published to great acclaim in 1929. Yet he had been working on another novel, which was only discovered recently.

    Set in the early 1900s, Viennese Romance tells the story of Michael Rost, an eighteen-year-old Jewish youth who travels to Vienna, hungry for experience. There, he forms passing relationships with everyone who crosses his path — prostitutes, revolutionaries, paupers, army officers, and rich men alike. When a shady businessman takes the penniless Rost under his wing, he rents a room in the home of an affluent bourgeois family. He is seduced by the lady of the house while her husband is away on business, and shortly after begins an affair with her sixteen-year-old daughter as well. This love triangle threatens to destroy the entire family.

    With a foreword that explains how this lost novel came to light, Viennese Romance is a seminal work that explores the conflicts faced by many Jewish intellectuals in early twentieth-century Europe. A compelling portrait of a decadent society, it also lays bare the obsessive–destructive nature of love.

    • 4/5
      Als einen Jahrhundertfund bezeichnet der Verlag den Roman von David Vogel. Und in der Tat versteckte sich das Manuskript über hundert Jahre lang im Nachlass des Autors. Vogel wurde 1891 in Padolien geboren und 1944 in Auschwitz ermordet. 1912 bis 1925 lebte er in Wien und dort nimmt auch seine Geschichte mit durchaus autobiografischen Zügen ihren Lauf. Der 18-jährige Michael Rost kommt mittellos aber voller Zuversicht in eine Stadt, die knapp vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg von Lebenslust, Kaffeehäusern und dem Mit- und Nebeneinander unterschiedlichster gesellschaftlicher Schichten geprägt ist. Rost verkehrt mit Müßiggängern und potentiellen Attentätern ebenso wie mit Prostituierten und lebensüberdrüssigen Adeligen. Zu Geld gekommen mietet er sich bei einer gutbürgerlichen Familie ein und beginnt sowohl mit der Dame als auch mit der Tochter des Hauses Liebesverhältnisse, die - mit und ohne sein Zutun - alsbald zu seinem Lebensmittelpunkt zu werden drohen.
