1919: After escaping from Russian captivity, the soldier Franz Tunda makes his way through Eastern Europe to Austria. On his odyssey, he falls into the hands of first the White and then the Red Army, falls in love and breaks up in Georgia, and finally ends up in Vienna. Always in search of a foothold, he continues to shimmy from place to place, from one woman to the next. But wherever he goes, the young man finds no place in the well-ordered post-war world. Actor Karl Walter Diess interprets Joseph Roth's laconic observations with great warmth and sensitivity. Unabridged reading with Karl Walter Diess 1 mp3 CD approx. 4 h 9 min.
