"Scintillating. . . . An intricate duel of wits. . . . ""Casanova in Bolzano"" provides posthumous evidence of Marai's neglected brilliance." -"Chicago Tribune"
"A novel of philosophical adventure. . . . Suspenseful, ornate, discursive to the verge of synaptic collapse (ours), and witty to the occasional verge of terror. . . . Ingenious."
-"The New York Times Book Review"
Sandor Marai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1900, and died in San Diego, California, in 1989. He rose to fame as one of the leading literary novelists in Hungary in the 1930s. Profoundly antifascist, he survived the war, but persecution by the Communists drove him from the country in 1948, first to Italy, then to the United States. His novel "Embers" was published for the first time in English in 2001.
Sandor Marai's "Embers" is available in Vintage paperback.
