Summary

A collection of Szerb's shorter fiction, which superbly demonstrates his development from young idealist to mature ironist.

Love in a Bottle Summary

Love in a Bottle by Len Rix (Translator)

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.

Love in a Bottle Reviews

Szerb is a master novelist whose powers transcend time and language -- Nicholas Lezard Guardian A writer of immense subtlety and generosity... Can literary mastery be this quiet-seeming, this hilarious, this kind? Antal Szerb is one of the great European writers -- Ali Smith Antal Szerb belongs with the master novelists of the 20th century -- Paul Bailey
