HOTEL SAVOY - JOSEPH ROTH

Discover Joseph Roth's fascinating novel "Hotel Savoy", which is a metaphor for the road to the West. This false path leads to the desert, moving away from the Promised Land, like a journey to Sodom. The hotel, with its floors arranged according to social hierarchy, resembles the circles of Dante's hell, symbolizing death and decay.

• Great novelistic metaphor for the road to the West
• Social hierarchy reflected in the floors of the hotel
• Symbolism of hell and death in every detail
• Film script full of images and sequences
• Realistic precision worthy of Neue Sachlichkeit
• Connection of modernity with archaic Jewish motifs

The novel is structured like a film script, a series of images and sequences, which is a kind of nemesis of cinema in relation to Roth. It can be seen that "Hotel Savoy" is constructed as an endless game of penetrations that break down into crumbs, fragments and individual details, painted with dry, realistic precision worthy of Neue Sachlichkeit. All this is set in a fluid context of general irreality and uncertainty.

As in Chagall's paintings, elements of the Jewish world are embedded in the framework of the crumbling Parisian world, so in the Hotel "Savoy" scraps of fragmented modernity intertwine with the epic archaism of Jewish motifs. The indifference of beggars and shady currency traders, a strange funeral during the riots, a Jewish cemetery, the majesty of the millionaire Bloomfield, undeserved by the West, create a unique and moving image.
