Reviews
"This reprint of the 1961 English version of the novel could hardly have been translated by a person more competent and knowledgeable than Eugene Jolas... Jolas's thorough knowledge of both languages, as proverbs and word puns, being extremely difficult to transfer from one language into another, are very well captured and translated. ...The novel provides the reader with a deep insight into life in mass society of the Weimar Republic."- Margaret Heukaefer, International Fiction Review, Vol. 33 2006 v
