Book Description
Princes, counts, commanders, diplomats, bishops, and patrons of the arts, revered, respected, and occasionally feared by their contemporaries, the Esterházy family was among the greatest and most powerful aristocrats in Hungarian history. Celestial Harmonies is the intricate chronicle of this remarkable family, a story spanning seven centuries of epic conquest, tragedy, triumph, and near annihilation.
Told by Péter Esterházy, a scion of this populous family, Celestial Harmonies unfolds in two parts, revealing two versions of the Esterházy story. Book One is a compilation of short passages about the Esterházy men, sons reflecting on their fathers, from the earliest days of the Hapsburg Empire to its demise in the early twentieth century and beyond. At one point, the father is seen fighting the Turks and writing psalms, at another he is described as herding geese and feathering his already well-feathered nest. In the nineteenth century, he is caught cavorting with his mistress while looking after matters of state; in the 1940s and 1950s, he is seen helping to organize a number of conspiracies, then reporting them (and himself) to the secret police. Conversely, he is also seen apprehended and tortured by the authorities. The father is a monster and he is an angel, but, above all, he is a man in search of his God.
Book Two chronicles the final chapter in the life of the Esterházy family, from the short Communist take over of 1919 to World War Two and its aftermath, when Hungary fell to Soviet rule and the Esterházys succumbed to dispossession, resettlement, and impoverishment. Here, Péter Esterházy reveals the story of his immediate family, especially his father, Mátyás Esterházy, who was born into great wealth and privilege in 1919. He worked as a field hand and parquet floor layer under the hard-line Communists, then, later on, as a translator making a meager living. It is a biography of a man who, despite the brutal tides of history, never relinquished the humanist values that were his birthright, and that were as inseparable from him as his illustrious name and heritage.
On the first page of Celestial Harmonies, the father is seen as a baroque grand seigneur; on the last, he is seated by his typewriter, bereft of everything except for the one word, "homeland." The individual stories of these "fathers" -- separated by centuries -- are as complex as the history of Hungary itself. Dazzling in scope and profound in implication, Celestial Harmonies is fiction at its richest and most awe-inspiring.

A book to be experienced.......2006-03-14
I cannot adequately describe what it was like for me to have experienced Celestial Harmonies, but I will try:
Part I is deceptively simple in its reduction of several generations of Esterhazy men (father, grandfathers, great grandfathers, etc) into "father" and "son." Yet this narrative device allows us to experience Peter Esterhazy's own complex and wonderful family history first hand, with details presented in small "chapters," often out of sequence from one another. These pieces coalesce and provide the reader with an ancestrial memory of this great aristocratic family.
Part II is more linear in its presentaion, and focuses on Esterhazy men of the twentieth century and all that was lost to the ravages war, Communism and revolution. It provides a glimpse into a time and a place in the world that I don't often hear about(in the US).
Celestial Harmonies is a most rewarding experience and I highly recommend it.
Harmonious - with just a discordant note or two.......2004-07-17
This will sound like literary heresy, but the first recommendation I would make to those considering reading this book is that they start with Part II, the author's autobiographical narrative, and then go back and try Part I.
Peter Esterhazy's "Celestial Harmonies" is an ambitious and unusual literary proposal that really consists of two complementary books within a single cover. In the first part Esterhazy tells the story of his aristocratic family through 371 numbered vignettes, some only a few lines long, others spanning several pages. In the second part Esterhazy looks at Hungary's troubled passage through the 20th century, showing how his family got its first taste of the troubles ahead with the advent of Bela Kun's communist regime in 1919, then enjoyed a brief return to aristocratic normalcy before the Soviet satellite regime of the late 1940s took away all of the family's land, posessions and power.
The problem with this book is the construction of the first half, and that's the reason for the recommendation I made above. At some point the first half becomes such rough going that I'm afraid many readers will not make it past the halfway point, and that would be a shame. Esterhazy's approach to the first half was to tell the family's story as ancedotes involving a score of family patriarchs. The anecdotes are not in chronological order but rather skip back in forth in time: in most cases no dates are given. Perhaps Esterhazy wanted to keep his novel from seeming like a history book but I'm afraid the actual effect of his approach will be to send readers scurrying to their bookshelves for an encyclopedia, as they try to look up a particular battle or Hungarian leader in order to put a given vignette in context. Many of the vignettes are insightful, and a few are hilarious, but as Esterhazy progresses through Part I they become more and more metaphorical, metaphysical, and often simply confounding.
For all that, the second half is a poignant memoir, one that reads smoothly, brilliantly evocative of life in communist Hungary and of the sufferings of those families with "inconvenient" surnames, those whose mere birth made them enemies of the state. The insights from the viewpoint of the author's grandfather, a Prime Minister of Hungary towards the end of the Empire, are most interesting, and then the viewpoint gradually shifts to the author's. Esterhazy touchingly shows us his father's struggle to adapt to life in a world where he'd gone from being the heir to one of Hungary's biggest fortunes, to having to live in a one-room dwelling with his family and work a series of menial jobs, the only ones the state allowed him to have. Near the end of the book the author recounts a childhood meal at an expensive restaurant in Budapest, a meal his family was only able to have through the agency of special food coupons for foreigners that they were given by a relation. Only by pretending to be German tourists could the family enter the restaurant and, for a short time, escape the mediocre surroundings they'd been consigned to. Tourists in their own nation - the scene brilliantly expresses the extent of the Esterhazy family's losses under Communism and the author's personal memoir is a worthwhile evocation of the loss many innocent Hungarian families suffered in the aftermath the Second World War.
Man, God and Homeland.......2004-05-24
I picked this novel up after reading the LA times book review. I was not disappointed; the book is sweeping in its scope without losing minute focus on the actions of individual men. The first portion of the book is devoid of a central character; only family relations exist this early in the story. Esterhazy tears down the walls of Hungarian society and allows the reader to fly over and inspect the scene for himself. Like God himself the reader is privy to all of actions of Peter's countrymen. The scene, at times, is both beautiful and appalling and leaves the reader aware of the continuity of the past and present, aware of how we all are "Fathers" "Mothers" "Sisters" and "Brothers" of one form or another.
The second portion of the book is a loose biography of the Esterhazy family stretching from the early 20th century to the early 1960s. Throughout all of the degradations suffered by the family, the father refuses to give up his birthright due to a Count: his Humanism.
In order to fully appreciate this book it is essential to have an understanding of Hungarian History and a knack for deciphering opaque references. Every word was carefully chosen so it is necessary to pay close attention to what you are reading, this, at times, slows the rhythm and makes the book seem longer than its 842 pages. If you have the time and will power then pick up this novel
85% fat--lots of trimming needed to get to the marrow.......2004-04-30
I tried Esterhazy's previous "Princess Hahn-Hahn" but the overly clever, self-infatuated style fatigued me. Eloquent desciptions of Budapest sustained about fifty pages, but what about the other couple hundred pages? Well, it's the same difficulty cubed here. This book's at least four times longer yet feels like ten times more cleverly engrossed in navel-gazing. Here, as the blurb tells you, he takes on the whole noble family from which he's descended. The first half, mixing up all of his ancestors as his father and his mother, could've been jettisoned completely. The first interesting scene came on page 449: between his grandfather and a Bela Kun-era communist functionary dismissing the grandfather's shrine to his brother as "nothing," brushing away in the name of bureaucracy all that was individual.
Still, for a more consistent version of this, read Ken Kalfus' recent novel The Commissariat of Enlightenment. I kept waiting for truly engrossing insights into the clash of ideology and the personal, but too few remained in the last half of the book, although to be fair it reads more easily than the first half.
Bits do glitter within a heap of fools' gold. The narrator's lunch treats made by his mom. Mr. Nussbaum's visit, a showdown with an officious waiter, a household raid by Soviet troops, the memory of an afternoon with uncle Roberto, the realization that a dictatorship equals intimidation and fear, with its executioners and victims on the sidelines. I chuckled when his family were labeled the lowest category"intellectuals plus class enemies. But moments like these are far too few. As the title line of my review indicates, this book should've been 150 pages.
Far too little of Hungary emerges in a distinctive manner. I'd check out Tibor Fischer's Under the Frog for a more powerful and 75% shorter narrative of the Stalinist period. Strange that Esterhazy's homeland sags so stultifyingly on these pages when they boast of having owned so much of it. Almost none of its beauty or limitlessness rises from these word-soaked chapters, upon which no editor's red pen seems to have alighted. The translation by Judith Sollosy--the dustjacket notes she's an espert in translation and head of the Hungarian publisher Corvina's English section--gives us at one point a Pope "Pious" (no pun, as much later we read "Pius,") and renders from Magyar what we read as a "bum wrap"--a great neologism, but not what the author meant, in context!
Finally, the borrowings from dozens of other writers make for--in theory--a great instance of interextuality. I added one star for effort. But this magpie approach--for example, lifting parts of Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes to bring the death of a twin brother of the narrator into the plot--dumbfounded me. If you want an intelligent longer read you're better going back to one of Esterhazy's inspirations, like The Magic Mountain, Ulysses, or even Beckett's 1950s three novels. These deliver modernism in its concentrated form. What Esterhazy delivers is diluted, bloated, and indigestible. Maybe the compressed nature of the Magyar original does justice to Esterhazy's overwhelming lists, musings, anecdotes, and endless random thoughts, but the English version left me exhausted and glad to be done with the task.

Customer Reviews:
So So.......2003-02-14
The illustrations in this are nice ( if a bit uneven in their quality throughout the book) but the prose is what suffers most. The words seem strained and for the most part are a little flat, a little basic. The stories seem like they wold have been better condensed as simple comics or picture books. The artwork is the main draw (all black and white illustrations inside) but some drawings seem more polished than others. There seems to be a span of 4 years between some of the dates on the drawings so the quality isn't consistent with some of the illustrations appearing rushed and dashed out. I guess this book will appeal mostly to those who already like the author's previous comics, but for those who aren't friends or fans, this was a disappointment.
A Greusome Delight!.......2002-12-27
If you are a Meat Cake fan, then you will love this book. It has six original, "frightful" fairytales that are very much in line with the rest of Dame Darcy's work. If you are not familiar with Dame Darcy's work, but love traditional Grimm-like fairytales (a little disturbing, violent, and full of Gothic/Victorian charm) you will also enjoy this book. Aside from the wonderful stories, there is a generous amount of Dame Darcy's artwork. Almost every page has a black-and-white side-sketch or full illustration. Be warned though, these tales are not for the faint-of-heart - some greusome things do happen. The book is best read when you are alone in the house on a rainy day or up late-night by the fire.
Timeless and Twisted.......2002-11-12
Dame Darcy is the coolest illustrator and comic book artist working today, period. I'm so glad she's branching out into book-sized books. This one makes a great gift for your favorite goth gal.
This book makes me squiggle with delight !.......2002-10-05
This book is wonderful. Love, romance, lust, violence, horror, betrayl, mysticism, seduction, revenge, angst, twisted, wicked and jaw dropping. All of which describes the lovely Dame Darcy's illustration and writing style. If you are into all of the above with a victorian undertone you will love this book. She is like the young female version of Edward Gorey.....
Bravo! I can't wait till she releases another one.

An insider's look behind the making of Star Trek.......2006-11-21
As someone who viewed the original Star Trek series when it aired for the first time, I can be considered an original Trekkie. While the science segment of the science fiction was often weak, the ideas and the vision for the future that it represented extended beyond what anyone could have imagined at the time. It represented a future where humanity had finally been able to end the conflicts on Earth, build a mighty fleet of star ships and find species on other planets that became allies. However, the future was not altogether rosy.
In episodes such as "The Space Seed" there were allusions to a ghastly, incredibly destructive nuclear war on Earth. It was hinted that this was the event that finally galvanized the human race to end conflict and join together. There were also the continuous conflicts between the Federation and the Romulans and Klingons. However, while there was the mention of a brutal war having been fought between the Federation and the Romulans, war is averted in the two episodes where the Enterprise and the Romulans meet.
Gerrold was the writer of "The Trouble With Tribbles" considered by many to be the best episode in the original series. He takes us behind the scenes in the creation, piloting and filming of the original series. He pulls no punches in his description of Star Trek, describing the strengths and weaknesses of the series. When something was done poorly, he explains that some of the failures were a consequence of the time. The late sixties was a time when women and minorities were not given strong roles, what you see in the original series was ground-breaking for the times. Any attempt to go any farther than what was done was blocked.
Gerrold also mentions how the show began to show signs of fatigue, as the story lines began to be repeated in an attempt to save money. Star Trek was a high budget show, so there was every attempt to save production costs, often to the detriment of the show. Finally, Gerrold also describes the development of the first three Star Trek feature movies and the fits and starts that took place before the first one was ever made. Given the success of the series of Star Trek movies, it is amazing to read how much time and effort it took to get the first one made.
Gerrold has an insider's view of the Star Trek phenomenon and he tells his stories very well. If you want to go beyond the basics of the series and learn something about how things were really done, then this is a book you need to read.
Behind the scenes of TOS.......1999-12-27
One of the first books written about the behind the scenes activities of TOS. Pictures, interviews, and anecdotes from the original production run.
GREAT JOB!!!.......1999-03-01
"The World of Star Trek" is a masterpiece! With episodes, interviews, pictures, and TONS of information about the cast, sets, makeup, etc., it's no wonder that it's my favorite Star Trek book. I highly suggest that any Star Trek-or even science fiction in general-fan should READ THIS BOOK!

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
As far as novelisations go, this one is pretty decent. It helps that the underlying event is a fairly entertaining star trek epic, as well, as we get K vs K, Kirk vs Khan, one of those old enemies from the past conjured into being type of confrontations.
Throw in Kirk's kid, and a dead pointy eared science officer and there is plenty to keep the interest.
This is one of the best Trek books!.......2004-01-03
This is an example how should movie novelizations be written. They tend to be flat and screenplay-like, but this one makes me feel like the movie were an adaptation of the book, not vice versa. It provides lots of background information (some of them were actually in the movie but were cut out later), mostly on Saavik, Peter Preston and Carol's Deltan co-workers. The main characters, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the others are the very same characters we all love, they talk and act just like they do in any Trek episode, they never do anything out of character. Vonda McIntyre knows how to write Star Trek. A novel can't be more Star Trek than this.
The Wrath of Khan.......2002-04-20
This is my favorite Star Trek movie novelization. It contains so much more than a play-by-play of the movie, but it also delves into tremendous characterization.. In the novel, Peter Preston Engineer's Mate is so much more. The reader also becomes aware that the young cadet is also the son of Scotty's sister. This revelation gives so much added meaning to the scene in which the chief engineer brings in the young man's charred remains after Khan's surprise attack. The theatrical release gives little more than Bones' heart-felt apology. The network television showing (which would appear from time to time on ABC) added scenes which did bring out this important plot point, but this has not been shown for many years. Why not issue a Director's Cut of this a la the original Motion Picture DVD. It would bring so much added meaning to this already classic film.
It could happen........1997-06-17
With the ability to clone we're that much closer to making a race of Kahn Sighs than we think Forget Jurassic Park for a moment. Yes we do have the technology to clone sheep and monkey. Yes dinosaurs maybe down the block.
But acroos the street lies an even bigger possibilility - humanbeings. We have the gen sequencers. We have computers and online services capable of linking us to labs around the world. Even now growing in a labratory could be a baby Genghis Kahn. When it first came out The Wrath of Khan was science fiction. Now it could be science fact
A pretty good book.......1996-10-02
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a pretty good book. Not much differs from the movie, though there are a few extra scenes (nothing eatrth-shattering). There is a bit too much Lewis Caroll, though. Get this book if you haven't seen the movie (or get this book if you have seen the great film)
