JOURNEY BY MOONLIGHT - ANTAL SZERB TASCHENBUCH

An early-twentieth-century classic -- the turbulent  dreamlike story of a businessman torn
between middle-class respectability and sensational bohemia "No one who has read it has failed
to love it." -- Nicholas Lezard 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.
