Love in a Bottle

For the first time in English, a collection of Szerb's short stories and novellas

Hungarian Antal Szerb is best known in the West as the author of three extraordinary novels, most notably Journey by Moonlight, and a highly entertaining study of the Ancien Régime in France, The Queen’s Necklace. This selection of his stories and novellas, set variously in mythical times and in the London and Paris of the 1920s and 1930s, reflects his love of life and the irrepressible irony that is his trademark.
