A dreamlike, chimerical masterpiece from a lost pre-war Europe - critically acclaimed and rightly revered

Baron Bagge, a cavalry officer stationed in Eastern Europe during the First World War, receives orders to ride into a platoon of Russian machine guns. But instead of meeting certain death, he and his brigade pass, unscathed, into a bizarrely peaceful land where festivities are in full swing. There he meets Charlotte Szent-Kiraly, and finds himself falling in a strange, enchanted love - a love harrowed at its edges by the threat of the enemy, and the peculiar fragility of this country's otherworldly peace . . .

Praise for Baron Bagge

An utterly captivating account of the absurdity of war, the boundary between life and death, and love as a survival exercise

Lea Ypi

Accomplished and distinctive... blending military narratives, paranormal experiences and erotic obsessions

TLS

A rare sort of book; more like a romantic, snowbound fever dream... A story about love and valour, war and idiocy.
