Europa: The Days of Ignorance
Briffault, Robert
"...a
psychological novel of gilded youth in the late 19th and early 20th
century, exposed to the maelstrom of society caught, in the meshes of
petty intrigue, curious gossip, slurring innuendoes about those in high
places, extravagance and vice and perversion, glimmers of an escape from
the trammels of tradition, struggles toward a philosophy that took
thought of humanity, attempts at an art which defied the classical
standards. There's more unity and sanity than in The Polyglots -- but
there's something of that madness..."--Kirkus
