Yellow Street

With an astute eye for irony and a sardonic humor, Veza Canetti weaves together stories about the people of Yellow Street, the home of the leather-merchants in the Leopoldstadt district. Set in Vienna in the 1930s, 'Yellow Street' is a novel that captures the despair, poverty, enforced idleness, and crumbling moral values of those years just before the political catastrophes of World War II.
