Description: "Inspired by the Arabian tale of the Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor, the great Hungarian author Gyula Krudy created a distinctively Hungarian world of seduction and intrigue in the early part of this century." "In these stories, Krudy's Sindbad, a voyager in the realms of memory and imagination, travels through centuries in pursuit of love. Krudy's prose flows beyond strict narrative as Sindbad journeys between past and present, often a musing presence in his own adventures. But although Sindbad can move through time, it is time that proves his chief enemy and youth that remains his real love." "This profoundly autumnal book, filled with nuance and nostalgia, is an erotic elegy to the dying Habsburg empire."--BOOK JACKET.
