The Monkey and Other Stories - Paperback

by Miklós Bánffy (Author), Thomas Sneddon (Translator)

The short stories in this collection, from the tale of the idle young man dawdling pleasantly in Venice to the Romanian villager meditating revenge on his tormentor, draw on the author's experiences of life, love, sacrifice, betrayal and courage, and reveal, as a recurring leitmotif, an indomitable will to survive.

Evocative short stories set in Europe and Transylvania between the two world wars.
