"Translated by Len Rix, this slim, elegant volume traces Szerb's farewell journey to his beloved Italy. . . The prose is intimate and disarming. . . Szerb deftly weaves Italy's timeless allure ("everything there is so old") with observations on its contemporary fever." -- Publishers Weekly, "Translated by Len Rix, this slim, elegant volume traces Szerb's farewell journey to his beloved Italy. . . The prose is intimate and disarming. . . Szerb deftly weaves Italy's timeless allure ("everything there is so old") with observations on its contemporary fever." -- Publishers Weekly "The Third Tower  is the vivid chronicle of a trip through a familiar landscape. The tone of the book conveys wonder, but the writing is always under the writer's control. . . expertly rendered into English by Len Rix, Szerb's longtime translator. . . The nostalgia that pervades  The Third Tower  is political, arising from an awareness of Europe's disastrous shift toward fascism and its disappearing tolerance of individual freedoms and differences of opinion." -- The Millions

Synopsis
In August 1936 a Hungarian writer in his mid-thirties arrives by train in Venice, on a journey overshadowed by the coming war and charged with intense personal nostalgia. Aware that he might never again visit this land whose sites and scenes had once exercised a strange and terrifying power over his imagination, he immerses himself in a stream of discoveries, reappraisals and inevitable self-revelations. From Venice, he traces the route taken by the Germanic invaders of old down to Ravenna, to stand, fulfilling a lifelong dream, before the sacred mosaics of San Vitale. This journey into his private past brings Antal Szerb firmly, and at times painfully, up against an explosive present, producing some memorable observations on the social wonders and existential horrors of Mussolini's new Roman Imperium., The Third Tower is a precious collection of Antal Szerb's lyrical, intelligent, and typically ironic travel notes, made during journeys through Italy in 1936, as the rise of Fascism marks the fall of the Europe of old--conveying a sense of both hopeful resolve and philosophical exhaustion., A typically brilliant and moving travelogue of 1930s Italy, by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers

    1st edition, 2nd impression edition of "The Drunken Forest," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely! Got a great deal on it! Great communication! The book, with a protective mylar cover, was wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in sturdy cardboard, then placed in a rugged bubble mailer! Fort Knox in a mailer! So hard to get an early edition of this classic! So happy to add to my growing collection of nature & science books! Thank you! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

    Exactly as described, looked brand new, great price. and packaged really well. At first was not provided a tracking number, contacted seller and they immediately responded, got tracking number but only problem I was given a tracking number for ups not usps and after reading some reviews they said they got a ups tracking and it was actually usps not ups. I was able to track it by tracking usps. Other than that small mixup everything was perfect. Will purchase from again, very happy with book
