There, he forms passing relationships with everyone who crosses his path - prostitutes, revolutionaries, paupers, army officers, and rich men alike. With a foreward 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."}, "latest_revision": 3, "revision": 3, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2020-08-03T09:45:00.105553"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-09-26T06:24:34.489963"}}
