The Rebellion

Vienna 1919: Traumatized and with only one leg, Andreas Pum returns home from the battlefields of the First World War. Luck is initially on the side of the war invalid: He finds a wife and makes a living as an organ grinder in the backyards. But then the tide turns and his social decline seems inevitable. Joseph Roth's clever, melancholy story about the desperate rebellion of an ordinary man struggling to adapt to bourgeois society is as timeless as it is existential. Christian Brückner reads this "rebellion" just as powerfully as Roth tells it.
