La escalera del hotel es una de las nouvelle más hermosas que salieron de la pluma de Franz Werfel. La presente edición incluye además Ensayo sobre el Imperio austrohúngaro, texto introductorio en el cual Franz Werfel hace una reflexión de lo que para él y para tantos otros grandes autores de su generación, como Joseph Roth o Stefan Zweig, supuso la caída del Imperio austrohúngaro y el crepúsculo de «su mundo».

Author
Franz Werfel
Author · 17 books
Czech-born poet, playwright, and novelist, whose central themes were religious faith, heroism, and human brotherhood. Franz Werfel's best-known works include The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (1933), a classic historical novel that portrays Armenian resistance to the Turks, and The Song of Bernadette (1941). The latter book had its start when Werfel, a Jew escaping the Nazis, found solace in the pilgrimage town of Lourdes, where St. Bernadette had had visions of the Virgin. Werfel made a promise to "sing the song" of the saint if he ever reached the United States. He died in California in 1945.
