	Antal Szerb - Journey by Moonlight Anxious to please his bourgeois father, Mihály has joined the family firm in Budapest. Pursued by nostalgia for his bohemian youth, he seeks escape in marriage to Erzsi, not realising that she has chosen him as a means to her own rebellion. On their honeymoon in Italy Mihály 'loses' his bride at a provincial station and embarks on a chaotic and bizarre journey that leads him finally to Rome. There all the death-haunted and erotic elements of his past converge, and he, like Erzsi, has finally to choose. Antal Szerb was born in 1901 into a Budapest family of Jewish descent. Graduating in German and English, he rapidly established himself as a prolific scholar. Journey by Moonlight appeared in 1937. He died in the forced-labour camp at Balf in January 1945.
