This is a picture of the first Pushkin Press English language edition of Antal Szerb's 1937 masterpiece novel Journey by Moonlight. I am still in the immediate aftermath of having just finished reading it, but I'm prepared to confidently proclaim that it is already among the best books that I have ever read.
I can't say that I have followed the same exact trajectory as Mihaily, the story's main protagonist, but there are some very similar personal parallels. It's late already, but I'll be adding more about this book soon. More than anything also, it brought back a lot of nostalgic feelings for my own stay in Rome some years back.
