This article focuses on the book "Black Monastery," by Aladar Kuncz and translated from the Hungarian by Ralph Murray. It is not until one has got through almost the whole first half of this book that its curious mixture of naive charm and macabre horror begins to have its proper effect. For one thing the situation is of a type that requires a certain length of time to unfold itself, a group of Germans, Austrians, and Hungarians trapped in France in July, 1914, and condemned to imprisonment for the remainder of the war.
