Abstract: Abstract The person speaking is Antal (‘Toni’) Szerb (2009:16), introducing a book entitled The Queen’s Necklace which he wrote between 1941 and 1942, and which was found among his papers after his death. Antal Szerb was starved, exhausted and beaten to death in the Nazi labour camp of Balf, western Hungary, in 1945. ‘Sadly, Toni Szerb is no longer with us here; we buried him yesterday’, wrote fellow-inmate, the Hungarian poet Gabor Halasz, on 31 January 1945. Szerb was 43 years old.
