Beers & Books CCVIII – Joseph Roth


"Die ukrainische Volkskunst ist eine ganz eigene,
mit stark ausgeprägten Kennzeichen,
und hat weder mit der russischen
noch mit der polnischen
oder tatarischen etwas gemeinsam."

Neue Berliner Zeitung – 12 Uhr Blatt, 13. Dezember 1920
*
"Украинское народное искусство является собственным,
с очень четкими характеристиками,
и не имеет ничего общего с русским,
польским или татарским народным искусством."

Neue Berliner Zeitung - 12-часовой лист, 13 декабря 1920 года
*
"Ukrainian folk art is entirely its own,
with strongly marked characteristics,
and has nothing in common
with either Russian, Polish or Tartar."

Neue Berliner Zeitung - 12 o'clock paper, 13 December 1920

Joseph Roth (2 September 1894 – 27 May 1939)

  1. I just wondered if you have read any of Edward Rutherford's books? They show how the first settlers reached a land and traces their history through remarcably threaded together stories. I've just bought 'Dublin'. I notice he has one on Russia.

    1. Not even ever heard I have his name before you mentioned him, Mark. For the moment, I think he won't make it on my shelves.
      And now I am heading over to read your latest poems.
