Two novellas of rare energy, The Spider's Web and Zipper and His Father are filled with Joseph Roth's surprising political foresight and compassionate sensitivity to the tremors of a world on the brink of collapse. The Spider's Web paints a chillingly realistic picture of the conspiracies that paved the way for the rise of Hitler. Zipper and His Father chronicles the progress of a father and son through the febrile world of German cinema in the 1920s.
