Mit feiner Ironie erzählt Antal Szerb in diesem wahrhaft europäischen Roman die Geschichte einer jungen Ehe. Er beleuchtet den Weg des frischvermählten Paars Erzsi und Mihály wie der helle Mond eine venezianische Gasse. Bereits auf der Hochzeitsreise in Italien wird Mihály durch die unerwartete Begegnung mit einem alten Freund von melancholischen Erinnerungen an seine rebellische Jugend überwältigt, und erste Phantasien über das Ende ihrer Beziehung beschleichen ihn. Als er seine Frau auf der Weiterreise an einem kleinen Bahnhof aus Versehen »verliert«, begreift Mihály dies als ein Zeichen, und eine ganz andere Reise beginnt, eine Schattenreise zum Selbst.

A Barbara Delinsky classic, For My Daughters is a poignant and unforgettable story of the enduring power of love and the tenacious strength of family from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author. Estranged sisters Caroline, Annette, and Leah St. Clair have spent their lives trying to escape the legacy of their wealthy, aloof, social-climbing mother, Virginia—each losing a certain part of herself in the process. Now, on the eve of her seventieth birthday, Virginia has asked them all to help her get settled into her magnificent new estate on the rocky coast of Maine, a request each sister reluctantly agrees to, thinking it may be her mother's last. But it is Virginia who has something to give to the daughters she neglected in childhood. For amid the glories of a New England summer, three sisters will finally learn the answers to the questions that have troubled them for years . . . and new truths that will stay with them forever.
From a crumbling fairy-tale castle on the stormy Sussex coast to a dazzling, dizzying masquerade ball comes an enchanting tale of a tarnished knight, a daring maiden, and a sweet, searing storybook love... At sixteen, Phoebe Layton had imagined that Gabriel Banner was a brave and valiant knight, a noble-hearted hero born to rescue ladies in distress. Which is why, eight years later, when she desperately needed help to carry out a vital quest, she could think of no one more suited than Gabriel. But when she lures her shining knight to a lonely midnight rendezvous, Phoebe finds herself sparring with a dangerously desirable man who is nothing like the hero of her dreams. And when he sweeps her into a torrid and blatantly unchivalrous embrace, she can't help but fear that she's made a dreadful mistake. It's a kiss that will seal Phoebe's fate. For now the exacting Earl of Wylde has a quest of his own--to possess the most intriguing, impulsive, outrageous female he has ever met...even if he has to slay a dragon to do it.
