For two thousand years

Mihail Sebastian ; translated by Philip O Ceallaigh

Penguin modern classics

'Absolutely, definitively alone', a young Jewish student in Romania tries to make sense of a world that has decided he doesn't belong. Spending his days walking the streets and his nights drinking and gambling, meeting revolutionaries, zealots, lovers and libertines, he adjusts his eyes to the darkness that falls over Europe, and threatens to destroy him. Mihail Sebastian's 1934 masterpiece, now translated into English for the first time, was written as the rise of fascism forced him out of his career and turned his friends and colleagues against him
