About the Book

The Esterházys, one of Europe's most prominent aristocratic families, are closely linked to the rise and fall of the Hapsburg Empire. Princes, counts, commanders, diplomats, bishops, and patrons of the arts, revered, respected, and occasionally feared by their contemporaries, their story is as complex as the history of Hungary itself. Celestial Harmonies is the intricate chronicle of this remarkable family, a saga spanning seven centuries of epic conquest, tragedy, triumph, and near annihilation. Told by Péter Esterházy, a scion of this populous clan, Celestial Harmonies is dazzling in scope and profound in implication. It is fiction at its most awe-inspiring. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

About the Author :
Peter Esterhazy, a member of one of Europe's most prominent aristocratic families, was born in Budapest in 1950. His books, published mostly in Europe, are considered to be significant contributions to postwar literature.

Review :
"This is a belated 20th-century masterpiece.... Esterházy has created a vast anti-epic." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Filters an inherently complex story... through a playful postmodern style... promises to be an enduring part of contemporary literature." - New York Sun "A belated 20th century masterpiece.... Splicing the fine-grained nostalgia of Nabokov's Speak, Memory with the anarchic spirit of Looney Toons, Esterházy has created a vast anti-epic." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A family saga...intricate and playful...[that] yields many extraordinary moments" - The New Yorker "Richly rewarding. A major achievement." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[A] major, massive, revelatory book--to call it a novel seems a little limiting.... Celestial Harmonies is a great book." - Los Angeles Times "Major, massive, revelatory.... Celestial Harmonies is a great book." - Los Angeles Times
