About This Novel
"Endless Escape" is one of Roth's early masterpieces. The protagonist Tonda is a lieutenant in the Austrian army. He was captured by the Russians during the World War. After being rescued by the Poles, he stayed in a remote farm in Siberia until the end of the war. While trying to return to Vienna via Ukraine, he was injured and rescued and became a member of the Soviet Red Army. Tongda experienced the war and peace at the beginning of the Soviet Union. After her love affair with Natasha and Alya ended, she returned to Vienna to find her fiancée Irene. At this time, everything in Europe was different from the past, and he could no longer integrate into the old life with his previous vision and attitude. The novel shows the confusion and loss of the young generation in Europe after the war. Against the background of the great changes of the times, it calmly and profoundly writes about individual hesitation and thinking. "Strawberry" belongs to Roth's works of the same period. With Roth's precise pen and ink, it describes the life of a small city in eastern Europe and records the last appearance of the old world before the advent of modern industry and commerce.
