Garton Ash's aim, to take these works of nineteenth-and early twentieth century classic fiction 'out of the ghetto', onto the shelves of Western booksellers, and into the consciousness of Western readers has been successfully achieved. The series got completed in 2002, reissued with new covers in 2003. |

| Publisher Description: Kosztolanyi's Skylark is a portrait of provincial life in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the turn of the century. Set in the autumn of 1899, it focuses on one extraordinary week in the otherwise uneventful lives of an elderly Hungarian couple and their ugly spinster daughter, Skylark. |
