Scott-King is a schoolmaster’s schoolmaster: quiet, measured, honest, and thoughtful. He is convinced to disrupt his quiet, consistent life in England to visit the totalitarian country of Neutralia, to participate in a conference on a poet who he has studied extensively.
This is the story of Mr. Scott-King, a schoolmaster who has an affinity for Bellorius, who dimly lived in that part of the Habsburg Empire which is now the totalitarian state of Neutralia. He is invited to take part in the Bellorius tercentenary celebrations; he accepts, and is plunged into the nightmare of totalitarian hospitality and into the life of modern Europe.
