Die Filiale der Hölle auf Erden: UKRAINOMANIA – Revue eines Lebens nach Texten und Motiven von Joseph Roth (in English: “A Branch of Hell on Earth: UKRAINOMANIA – A Retrospective of a Life Based on the Writings and Themes of Joseph Roth”) was published by Spector Books as a companion volume to an international theatre production by Volkstheater Wien. Inspired by the writings of Joseph Roth, the publication retraces the author's journey through Lviv and the Galician countryside and documents the development of a contemporary stage production presented in Lviv and Vienna. Through literary texts, essays, photography, and illustration, the book reflects on memory, displacement, cultural identity, and the continuing relevance of Roth’s observations on Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

The publication was edited by Claus Philipp and Tobias Schuster. It includes texts by Jan-Christoph Gockel, Oksana Lemishka, Oleksandra Matwijtschuk, Jurko Prochasko, Joseph Roth, and Karl Schlögel, alongside illustrations by Sofia Melnyk and photography by Jacob Suske and Marcella Ruiz.

It was designed by Lyosha Kritsouk with the typefaces KTF Cirk (Kyiv Type Foundry), William Text (Typotheque) and Suisse Int’l (Swiss Typefaces).
