But by whom?’\nVienna, 1939. Lieutenant Wallmoden is preparing to take part in a mysterious ‘military exercise’ when he meets the austerely beautiful Baroness Pistohlkors and her elusive circle of acquaintances. He promises to see her again – but then discovers his company has been mobilised for war. Marching across Europe, stumbling across the border between the living and the dead, one constant remains: he must keep his tryst with the Baroness, in this world or the next.\nBanned by the Nazis and almost lost, Mars in Aries is an erotically charged ghost story, a shocking account of the invasion of Poland, and a mesmeric exploration of time and fate.\nTranslated by Robert Dassanowsky and John Barrett","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50917856706848,"sku":"9780241674468","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780241674468.jpg?v=1768153234","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/mars-in-aries-alexander-lernet-holenia-9780241674468","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
