"The kings in exile are in reality a single little king from an imaginary state in the Balkans, dethroned by a revolution and taken refuge in Paris. He is surrounded by a troop of faithful, dreams of a triumphant restoration, but ends up getting tired of the life of pleasures that one leads in the capital. The local color from which the book is enriched is largely due to the tumultuous affairs of the small Balkan state. The novel should be seen less as a single story and more as a series of episodes, intended to emphasize the inexorable decadence to which exile condemns the main character and many of the characters who make it up. surround.
