| Synopsis: |
"The Polyglots" is the story of an eccentric Belgian family living in the Far East in the uncertain years after World War I and the Russian Revolution. The tale is recounted by their dryly conceited young English relative, Captain Georges Hamlet Alexander Diabologh, who comes to stay with them during a military mission. Teeming with bizarre charactersdepressives, obsessives, paranoiacs, hypochondriacs, and sex maniacsGerhardie paints a brilliantly absurd world where the comic and the tragic are profoundly and irrevocably entwined." |
