Summary: a novel about europe's lost generation
Review: This novel, which was very successful when first published, is certainly one of perutz's most interesting. the story of austrian officer victorin, traumatised by by his russian captivity and unable to get on with his life, is very thrilling to read. as always with this author he hides his literary intentions behind a story which can easily be read as entertainement only, while his writing is far more subtle and the solution very interesting. perutz has not jet reached the literary acclaim he should have but is certainly one of the most interesting figures in austrian literature.
