Kör Ayna

Blind Mirror, XX. It brings together with its readers all the stories of Austrian Joseph Roth, one of the valuable writers of 19th century German literature.
Roth takes his readers on different journeys with eighteen stories he wrote between 1916 and 1936. The locations and paths of these journeys into the lives of people struggling in the new world order that developed after the First World War and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are different from each other.
Following Roth's story characters, we are dragged to the luxurious streets of the city, to poor neighborhoods, under bridges, sometimes to the countryside, and sometimes to the open seas. When the geography they knew as "homeland" disappeared, the deterritorialized people tried in vain to revive an order that was buried in the past; Those who are scattered from place to place in "modern" urban life and in the countryside; We witness the lives of those who hold on tightly to a hope that will save them from the world in which they (can't) breathe, but who succumb to their fate every time.
Roth's stories, written with a sharp observation skill, are like a sad melody whose dominant tone is loneliness. The accompaniment of this sadness is sometimes a subtle sarcasm and sometimes a tender humor. The stories described belong to a different period and geography; But what is being narrated are different aspects of "not being able to hold on", which is not foreign to the human soul. For this very reason, Blind Mirror, like many valuable works of literature, maintains its universality.
