Invited to the family seat, Pendragon Castle in North Wales, Batky receives a mysterious phone-call warning him not to go. But go he does, plunging him into a bizarre world of mysticism and romance, animal experimentation, and planned murder. His quest to solve the central mystery takes him down strange byways-old libraries and warehouse cellars, Welsh mountains and underground tombs.The Pendragon Legend is Antal Szerb's first novel and is a gently satirical blend of gothic and romantic genres, crossed with the murder mystery format to produce a fast-moving and often hilarious romp. But beneath the surface, the reader becomes aware of a steely intelligence probing moral, psychological, and religious questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52166193283360,"sku":"NEW1805330667","price":12.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61wdcq1ZqzL.jpg?v=1786296864","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-pendragon-legend-pushkin-press-classics-1805330667","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
