'Antal Szerb is one of the great European writers' Ali Smith 'A
novel to love as well as admire, always playful and ironical, full
of brilliant descriptions, bon mots and absurd situations' Guardian
A major modern classic: the turbulent story of a businessman torn
between middle-class respectability and sensational bohemoia
Mihály and Erzsi are on honeymoon in Italy. Mihály has recently
joined the respectable family firm in Budapest, but as his gaze
passes over the mysterious back-alleys of Venice, memories of his
bohemian past reawaken his old desire to wander. When bride and
groom become separated at a provincial train station, Mihály
embarks on a chaotic and bizarre journey that leads him finally to
Rome, where he must reckon with both his past and his future. In
this intoxicating and satirical masterpiece, Szerb takes us deep
into the conflicting desires of marriage and shows how adulthood
can reverberate endlessly with the ache of youth. Part of the
Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of
literature, hand-picked from around the globe Translated by Len Rix
Antal Szerb was born in Budapest in 1901. Though of Jewish descent,
he was baptised at an early age and remained a lifelong Catholic.
He rapidly established himself as a formidable scholar, through
studies of Ibsen and Blake and histories of English, Hungarian and
world literature. He was a prolific essayist and reviewer, ranging
across all the major European languages. Debarred by successive
Jewish laws from working in a university, he was subjected to
increasing persecution, and finally murdered in a forced labour
camp in 1945. Pushkin Press publishes his novels The Pendragon
Legend, Oliver VII and his masterpiece Journey by Moonlight, as
well as the historical study The Queen's Necklace and Love in a
Bottle and Other Stories.
