The hero of Ludwig Bemelmans' first novel is one Leonidas Erosa, a South American general heavy with years and money, residing in Biarritz with his retinue. This includes a paragon of a cook (no Bemelmans book would be complete without fine food); an Indian to care for his dogs; a fabulous secretary; a mistress; and the faithful English governess, Miss Graves, who carries her coffin with her when they travel. This sportive party, at the approach of war, sets out for America. Their adventures in Casablanca, in New York, and finally on the old hacienda in Ecuador, are a saga of life, love, death, and birth.
Fiction / Novel - Concerns the unusual journey of an elderly Ecuadoran general from his villa in Biarritz to his home in South America. It too had a point to make, but did so with a more characteristic deftness. It was, wrote a New Yorker critic, "A satire which manages to be not only brashly funny, but a subtle statement about human behavior in its more futile aspects."
