<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Esterházys, one of Europe's most prominent aristocratic families, are closely linked to the rise and fall of the Hapsburg Empire. Princes, counts, commanders, diplomats, bishops, and patrons of the arts, revered, respected, and occasionally feared by their contemporaries, their story is as complex as the history of Hungary itself. <em>Celestial Harmonies</em> is the intricate chronicle of this remarkable family, a saga spanning seven centuries of epic conquest, tragedy, triumph, and near annihilation. Told by Péter Esterházy, a scion of this populous clan, <em>Celestial Harmonies</em> is dazzling in scope and profound in implication. It is fiction at its most awe-inspiring.</p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is a belated 20th-century masterpiece....

Celestial Harmonies is a great book."--<em>Los Angeles Times</em><br><br>"Filters an inherently complex story... through a playful postmodern style... promises to be an enduring part of contemporary literature."--New York Sun<br><br>"Richly rewarding. A major achievement."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<br>
