While visiting a Welsh castle a young scholar finds himself at the center of occult rituals and a murder mystery in this "absolute treat" of a gothic detective story ( The Guardian ) At an end-of-the London season soiree the young Hungarian scholar-dilettante Janos Batky is introduced to the Earl of Gwynedd a reclusive eccentric who is the subject of strange rumors. Invited to the family seat Pendragon Castle in North Wales Batky receives a mysterious phone-call warning him not to go. But go he does plunging him into a bizarre world of mysticism and romance animal experimentation and planned murder. His quest to solve the central mystery takes him down strange byways-old libraries and warehouse cellars Welsh mountains and underground tombs. The Pendragon Legend is Antal Szerb's first novel and is a gently satirical blend of gothic and romantic genres crossed with the murder mystery format to produce a fast-moving and often hilarious romp. But beneath the surface the reader becomes aware of a steely intelligence probing moral psychological and religious questions.
