Beschreibung:
Hungarian Antal Szerb is best known in the West as the author of three extraordinary novels, most notably Journey by Moonlight (1937), and a highly entertaining study of the Ancient Regime in France, The Queen's Necklace (1942). This selection of his stories and novellas, set variously in mythical times and in the London and Paris of the twenties and thirties, reflects his love of life and the irrepressible irony that is his trademark.
"Here you have Szerb in miniature revealing his multi-faceted genius" - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian. This selection of Antal Szerb's stories and novellas, set first in a quasi-mythical past and then in the London and Paris of the Thirties, provides an exhilarating guide to the writer'sdevelopment, from precocious beginnings to a masterful maturity. In these unforgettable tales, two of which are new to this edition, Szerb displays his irrepressible love of life and the gentle irony that became his hallmark.
