Job is a 1930 novel by the Austrian writer Joseph Roth. The main character Mendel Singer leaves Russia to start a new life in America. But there, too, he is haunted by misfortune. The character has to suffer the blows of fate, which forces him to reassess even his faith in God he followed so closely. Mendel is like the biblical Job, but the hope for a better life never leaves him.
