Love in a Bottle and Other Stories
By Antal Szerb
A collection of Szerb's shorter fiction, which superbly demonstrates his development from young idealist to mature ironist
"Here you have Szerb in miniature... revealing his multi-faceted genius" Nicholas Lezard, Guardian This selection of Antal Szerb's stories and novellas, set first in a quasi-mythical past and then in the London and Paris of the Thirties, provides an exhilarating guide to the writer's development, from precocious beginnings to a masterful maturity. In these unforgettable tales-two of which are new to this edition-Szerb displays his irrepressible love of life and the gentle irony that became his hallmark.
