Hugo Bettauer's The city without Jews, originally subtitled A novel of our time, is a profound and unsettling work of literary fiction that remains strikingly pertinent. This influential novel presents a compelling social commentary through its exploration of antisemitism in Austria.

Set against the backdrop of a fictionalized Vienna, Bettauer crafts a chillingly prescient, dystopian vision. He meticulously illustrates the far-reaching impacts on a city's culture, economy, and social cohesion after its Jewish population is expelled. The narrative delves into the profound and often unforeseen consequences of such an extreme political measure, compelling readers to consider the essential contributions of all community members.

Categorized as both Jewish and political fiction, The city without Jews serves as a thought-provoking examination of identity, prejudice, and the intricate fabric of society. It powerfully highlights the societal decay that can arise from intolerance and the critical importance of a diverse population. This enduring narrative stands as a significant piece of literature, offering timeless reflections on the human condition.
