The Pendragon Legend - Brossura

Antal Szerb belongs with the master novelists of the 20th century - PAUL BAILEY, The Daily Telegraph --The Daily Telegraph

May Szerb's entry into our literary pantheon be definitive - ALBERTO MANGUEL, The Financial Times --The Financial Times

Szerb is a master novelist whose powers transcend time and language - NICHOLAS LEZARD, The Guardian --The Guardian

"Szerb was fluent in German and English and greatly interested in unusual religious beliefs. His knowledge of Rosicrucianism and the occult informs this often very funny book, which takes many affectionate potshots at the period's popular fiction. Szerb, who produced a history of English literature, knew his Shakespeare, Blake and Milton, but also the frothier writings of John Buchan, Edgar Wallace and P G Wodehouse" PAUL BAILEY --The Independent
