Joseph Conrad was born on 3rd December 1857 in Berdychiv in the Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. His birthplace had been part of Poland which its neighbours dismembered into their own Empires. Conrad brought to English Literature both narrative mastery, compelling prose and fully formed characters as well as a deeper examination of the human psyche in a wealth of work. He wrote many novels, short stories, nonfiction, and memoirs which are rightly regarded today as some of the finest in English literature. Jospeh Conrad died on the 3rd August 1924 at Bishopsbourne, Kent in England.

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He came to be regarded a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered a literary impressionist by some and an early modernist by others, though his works also contain elements of 19th-century realism.

"Triumph der Schönheit" ist eine feinsinnige Novelle von Joseph Roth, dem großen Chronisten der untergehenden Habsburgermonarchie. Mit scharfer Beobachtung und stilistischer Eleganz schildert Roth das Porträt einer Frau, deren äußere Schönheit ihr gesellschaftliches Kapital – und zugleich ihr Verhängnis ist. 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.
