No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In this feverish tale of a man caught in the balance between two realities, Leo Pertuz offers a mystery of identity and a fable of faith and political fervor, banned by the Nazis when it was first published in 1933. Saint Peterβs Snow is typical of Perutzβs storytelling mastery: extraordinarily rich and elegant fiction that is taut with suspense, full of Old World irony and humor.
