 | | However, Roth was one of the best-known and highest paid journalists in the Weimar Republic, whose articles and Feuilletons about Berlin, Paris, Russia and other places seemed to capture the energy and ambivalence of the Zeitgeist, a culture dazzled by competing ideologies, new technologies, and a burgeoning entertainment industry. |
 | | Roth was born to German-speaking Jewish parents in fin-de-siècle Austria-Hungary, close to the border with Russia. |
 | | Roth grew up in a diverse community, in which Jews and gentiles, German, Polish, Yiddish and Ukrainian speakers, and soldiers, farmers and tradespeople lived cheek by jowl. |
