What I Saw: Reports from Berlin 1920-1933

What I Saw is a masterpiece of literary nonfiction that offers a gripping account of 1920s Berlin, as seen through the eyes of its most renowned journalist, Joseph Roth.

This collection of impressionistic and political essays provides a vivid portrait of a city on the brink of collapse, where the forgotten inhabitants of the city's underbelly are brought to life in all their complexity and vulnerability.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the moral bankruptcy and debauched beauty of the time, Roth chronicles the lives of war cripples, Jewish immigrants, criminals, bathhouse denizens, and the nameless dead who filled the morgues.

Warning early on of the dangers posed by the Nazis, What I Saw is a powerful reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of standing up against injustice.

This book will leave you breathless and inspired to take action.
