"An absolute treat... Szerb is a master novelist, a comedian whose powers transcend time and language" Nicholas Lezard, Guardian At an end-of-season London soir�e a young Hungarian scholar, Dr J�nos B�tky, is introduced to the Earl of Gwynedd, a reclusive eccentric who is the subject of strange rumours.
