Reviews
These are stories of hardship, injustice, cruelty, and hope. All take place in Budapest during and after the Second World War, but, for their keenness of eye and largeness of heart, they belong to a tradition of dramatic storytelling that isn't confined by period or place. They remind me of Stories by Tolstoy, Checkhov, Verga, Lawrence and Hemingway. Here is one of the outstanding writers of the twentieth century., Tibor Déry was a dissenter, a subversive revolutionary and, in his old age, a jailbird. He was also one of the greatest stylists in the history of Hungarian literature., Tibor Déry has few equals among writers in Hungarian.... [He] is one of the...masters of that great tradition of European realism that we associated with the name of Thomas Mann, and he deserves our close attention. , ... this retrospective collection ... should remind them [US readers] of Déry's central place in modern Hungarian literature., Tibor Dery was a dissenter, a subversive revolutionary and, in his old age, a jailbird. he was also one of the greatest stylists in the history of Hungarian literature.

Synopsis
Tibor D ry (1894-1977), winner of Hungary's highest artistic honor, the Kossuth Prize, in 1948, was first imprisoned in 1934 by the Horthy regime for translating Andr Gide's diary of his journey to Russia, and again, over twenty years later, for his writings and political activities during the Hungarian Revolt of 1956 against Soviet occupation. Around the world, Tibor D ry Committees formed: Picasso, Camus, Sartre, Bertrand Russel, E.M. Forster, and in the Indian Congress Committee were among the many involved. Today, Tibor D ry is venerated as one of the most important literary figures of Hungary and, like Chekhov, a master of the modern short story. Love and Other Stories presents some of D ry's finest work. In "Games of the Underworld," ordinary people in Budapest try to survive the winter of war in cramped cellars and encounter menacing Arrow-Cross men, a towering giant, a blind horse, a vinegar sponge; in "The Circus," a group of bored children transmogrifies into a grotesque spectacle; in "Love," a political prisoner is released after seven years and returns home to his wife and son. George Szirtes, the award-winning translator from the Hungarian and winner of the 2004 T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry, gives a brilliant introduction to this visionary collection that deals passionately with questions of responsibility and conscience, of social justice and renewal., Today, Tibor Dery is venerated as one of the most important literary figures of Hungary.

- a***o (49)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéItem is as described in post, great quality, clean, not damaged, great purchase. I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
