As brutal tragedy strikes, their attitude to both pacifism and patriotism is altered and their lives are changed forever.

Il giovane Trotta, nobile per nomina, conduce la stessa vita leggera e vuota del resto della decadente nobile gioventù viennese, finché non conosce il cugino caldarrostaio Joseph Branco e l’amico di questi, il vetturino ebreo Manes Reisiger. Persuaso di trovare in loro la concretezza che ritiene gli manchi, allo scoppio della guerra si arruola nel loro reggimento e li segue fino in Galizia orientale, oggi Ucraina ma allora parte dello sterminato Impero austroungarico, e quindi in Siberia, che nel romanzo di Roth è una magica e remota isola di moralità e bontà.

July, 1914: In their sunlit Hampshire workshop, Alice Dalton mixes paints for the stained-glass artwork she and Edmund are working on, pausing only to joyfully cradle the soft swell of her stomach. But the looming war threatens her hard-won happiness. A knock at the door announces the arrival of Victor, her estranged brother, returning after six long years in America. But her elation at being reunited is short-lived as she realizes he still hasn’t forgiven her for her part in the heartbreak that sent him abroad.
