Travelling to Italy on their honeymoon, Erszi and Mihaly are ready
to take in all the beauties and pleasures of the country. But when
they reach Venice, it is clear that Mihaly prefers to roam around
the back alleys and the canals on his own, and as they continue
their journey through the Bel Paese there is a growing sense of
unrest between them, until Mihaly misses the train to Rome they
were due to take together. Wandering alone from city to city, with
his marriage rapidly falling apart, Mihaly must confront the ghosts
of his past and try to find a sense of purpose. Originally written
in 1937, and here presented in a brilliant new translation by Peter
V. Czipott, Antal Szerb's gently humorous and psychologically
subtle exploration into the workings of a budding bourgeois
marriage has been hailed as one of the great rediscovered classics
of the twentieth century.
