Overview
"When Andreas Pum returns from World War I, he has lost a leg but gained a medal. Unlike his fellow sufferers, however, Pum maintains his unswerving faith in God, Government, and Authority. He makes his livelihood playing sentimental and patriotic tunes on a barrel organ. Uncomplaining, stupid, and docile, he marries the (very) recently widowed Katharina shortly after meeting her." "Disaster strikes soon after. An argument with a stranger on a tram leads to blows and, unfortunately for Andreas Pum, the other man is of a higher class, and so Pum loses his license to play the barrel organ. His wife is furious and takes up with another man." "Things get even worse at his trial. Pum finds himself in prison, after striking an official. Pum ages terribly in a matter of weeks. Andreas, older and older, obsessed with the injustice he's suffered, dies an embittered old man." "Rebellion, the last of Joseph Roth's novels to be translated into English, captures the cynicism and upheavals of a postwar culture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
