"A seductively lurid Gothic-Romantic near-masterpiece, packed with overheated and often attenuated tales of extravagant adventure, philosophical speculation, unrequited love, and supernatural vistation."
Kirkus, 05/15/95
Review:"At its most magical 'The Manuscript Found in Sargossa' reads like 'The Arabian Nights', at the most Italianate like something from 'The Decameron' or Elizabethan revenge tragedy. A few of the weirder tales will remind readers of gothic fiction such as 'Melmoth the Wanderer', while the allusions to a secret brotherhood may even call to mind the sinister paranoia of 'Foucault's Pendulum'."
Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World, 07/09/1995

Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 1996. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Alphonse, a young Walloon officer, is travelling to join his regiment in Madrid in 1739. But he soon finds himself mysteriously detained at a highway inn in the strange and varied company of thieves, brigands, cabbalists, noblemen, coquettes and gypsies, whose stories he records over sixty-six days. The resulting manuscript is discovered some forty years later in a sealed casket, from which tales of characters transformed through disguise, magic and illusion, of honour and cowardice, of hauntings and seductions, leap forth to create a vibrant polyphony of human voices. Jan Potocki (1761-1812) used a range of literary styles - gothic, picaresque, adventure, pastoral, erotica - in his novel of stories-within-stories, which, like the "Decameron" and "Tales from the Thousand and One Nights", provides entertainment on an epic scale.
