The mythic Venusberg is the mountain in Germany where Tannhauser courted Venus, as painted by John Collier and celebrated by Wagner. But in this novel, it s also a city in an unnamed Baltic state, to which Powell s young hero, named Lushington, travels by ship in 1930 and falls in love with his own foreign Venus. This social comedy (think of the film The Grand Budapest Hotel ) is action packed with Nazis, countesses, hilarious misunderstandings, fatal accidents, and assassins. In the new foreword, Levi Stahl points out that Powell s second novel, written in his twenties, contains the seeds of his brilliant "Dance"" to the Music of Time.""
