Translated from the Hungarian by Ivan Sanders. A Helen and Kurt Wolff book. 315 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Krystyna Skalski. keywords: Europe Hungary Literature Translated Eastern Europe World Literature. DESCRIPTION - The story of Hungary's transformation from a fascist to a communist state, and of one man's mental and physical disintegration in the context of that bitter adventure. In this novel, a Hungarian intellectual of bourgeois Jewish background reflects on the tumultuous course of his life: his youth, his marriage, his wartime experiences. his years as a delirious propagandist of postwar totalitarianism, a high-ranking government official, a tortured prisoner of that government, a minister in the 1956 revolt, and finally a respected academic who found himself in conflict with the authorities once again in the early seventies, Now a failed son, brother, husband, lover, and revolutionary, fifty-five years of age, he sits alone on a bench in the garden of an insane asylum, feeling curiously protected from the world on the other side of the stone wall. 'It's us madmen against you idiots.' Whether madmen or idiots, on one side of the wall or the other, these are all memorable characters, set against a background of vibrant city streets, lush vineyards, and dusty Hungarian plains, amid foods, feathers, and heightened sexual appetites. A richly textured, powerful saga of life in Eastern Europe in the twentieth century. inventory #5083. Seller Inventory # z5083
