The Legend Of The Holy Drinker, Paperback / softback Book

The Legend Of The Holy Drinker Paperback / softback

Illustrated by Frans Masereel

Paperback / softback

Description

'One of the greatest European novelists of the century' Sunday TimesAndreas is an alcoholic and a vagrant who lives under a bridge.

Downtrodden, submerged at the bottom of society, he lives a fortuitous life - dictated by happenstance and the whims of others - until a run of exceptionally good luck lifts him, briefly, onto a different plane of existence.

First published after Roth's death in 1939, The Legend of the Holy Drinker is haunting and melancholic, yet filled with empathy.

A secular miracle-tale, it is an unforgettable testament to Roth's lucidity and compassion.
