The Queen’s Necklace sketches an extraordinary portrait of the French aristocracy as it falls towards the anarchy and bloodshed of the Revolution. This masterpiece lends emotional context to historical past, with a narrative that prophesizes impending violence through the superficiality and power struggles inside the court itself. Court life is vividly drawn; its fashions, habits, and politics, and also its power, decadence, vices, and corruption. Len Rix's translation brings Antal Szerb’s fascinating world into English for the first time, staying true to the original style, wit, and strength of the author’s writing.
