U suštini okultna misterija i stranger-in-a-strange-land priča (Madjar u Britaniji), napisana 1930ih i smeštena u iste te godine. To je, valjda, i razlog zašto je ovaj roman tako neretko odraz svog vremena, u smislu pojedinih... obrazaca ljudske prirode, koji su danas takodje prisutni, ali pretpostavljam malo manje vidljivi. (U jednom trenutku neko neironično kaže heil hitler, a seksizam je na dobar dan.) Što se tiče okultne misterije, ona je mlaka, doduše uz zanimljivo satanističku završnicu (a la skoriji film The Witch). Sve u svemu, nije ovo loše napisano, te otud i ne mogu da dam knjizi manju ocenu, a da sam uživao – pa i ne baš.

Absolutely loved this! Like an exciting tongue-in-cheek combo of a philosophical thriller, an upper class comedy, a gothic horror and hell, even some dark academia! A romp of conspiracies, occultism, a femme fatale, ridiculous didguises, secret tombs… perfect novel

It is very interesting how this "old" author (1900s) can write such a modern book. I think it is a fantastic book: high literature but simple language.
