Love in a Bottle and Other Stories

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.

"Here you have Szerb in miniature... revealing his multi-faceted genius." - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
