Publisher's Synopsis
A UNIQUE SELECTION OF THE BEST OF EUROPEAN LITERATURE The four books collected together in this box are not simply beautifully written stories but also stunning examples of the imaginative genius of four exceptional European writers. From Thomas Manns and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusas moving meditations on time and desire to the inventive glory of Italo Calvinos unique and sparkling narrative and Mikhail Bulgakovs blisteringly satirical cult classic, these novels all offer something unexpected and open up new horizons for the reader.
