La Marcia Di Radetzky by Joseph Roth
A melancholy, multi-generational portrait of a family whose fortunes track the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: after a grandfather is celebrated for saving the emperor in battle and is ennobled, his descendants cling to rigid duty and blind loyalty, slowly losing vitality, honor and identity. Personal tragedies and small humiliations accumulate until the family's disintegration mirrors the empire's collapse, offering a meditation on fate, honor, and the corrosive effects of unquestioning obedience.
