Celestial Harmonies by Péter Esterházy

A biographical novel in the grand European literary tradition that spans multiple generations and three centuries of tumultuous Central European history, as witnessed by the Esterhazys, a leading Hungarian family.

‘Esterhazy’s writing is agile and compelling … The polyform narration is fascinating in its ambition, its effect rather like a literary one-man band’ TLS

‘An unusual and remarkable book … Enthralling and enjoyable.’ Adam Zamoyski, Spectator

‘This novel is an agility class. But it doesn’t seem to matter if the reader is not very agile. All one needs to enjoy it is enough time and a certain willingness to step along with a very dancing sort of writer.’ Independent

Peter Esterhazy, a member of one of Europe’s most prominent families, was born in Budapest in 1950. He is one of Hungary’s most innovative contemporary writers. His works, published mostly in Europe, are considered to be significant contributions to post-war literature.
