description: This is the first English publication of a major work by one of Belgium's greatest writers - Franz Hellens. As a prime example of his fantastic realism this novel takes its narrator-hero Theophile through a series of adventures that range from the touchingly down-to-earth to the extravagantly bizarre. With its rich multiplicity of character and incident as well as a narrative that surprises the reader at every turn this book is an ideal introduction to a unique and too long neglected voice in twentieth-century literature.
