"Triumph der Schönheit" ist eine feinsinnige Novelle von Joseph Roth, dem großen Chronisten der untergehenden Habsburgermonarchie.

Im Mittelpunkt steht die alternde Schauspielerin Frau Susanne, die einst bewundert wurde, nun aber gegen die Zeit, gegen das Vergessen – und gegen sich selbst kämpft. Roth zeigt dabei mit leiser Ironie, wie sehr Schein und Sein auseinanderklaffen können.

But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?
