Evening in Byzantium

Irwin Shaw is one of the most popular writers of our time. He is an author with a truly unique ability to combine, in his works, depth, a tense intrigue, and astonishing knowledge of human psychology. At the center of the novel “An Evening in Byzantium” is the story of one failed life.
The main character is a “film man”—so accustomed to his talent and success that he doesn’t notice how, through a chain of fleeting intrigues, small concessions and compromises, accidental bargains with conscience, his talent and success abandon him.
