About this Event
On his honeymoon in Venice, Mihály manages to lose his wife before embarking on a picaresque journey through Italy, attempting to escape his middle-class life and reconnect to an intense friendship of his adolescence. Funny, bizarre, and psychologically fascinating, Journey by Moonlight is a beloved Hungarian classic, first published in 1937 and brilliantly translated by Len Rix into English in 2000. Antal Szerb, born to assimilated Jewish parents and baptised a Catholic, was murdered at Balf concentration camp in January 1945, aged 43.
