Hardback. Condition: New. A rich, layered narrative that explores the indomitable human spirit against the backdrop of Romania's complex history in the 1950s and '60s. A rural area not far from the city of Cluj-Napoca, a former Hungarian province that has been part of Romania since 1920. World War II has ended and the region is under the firm clasp of Stalinist collectivization. In the atmospheric village of Kolozsvár, Omertà unfolds a riveting tale through four poignant perspectives, each peeling back the layers of its central characters' lives against the backdrop of a tumultuous Eastern Europe in the mid-twentieth century. Kali, a peasant woman, escapes an abusive marriage to embark on a transformative journey to Kolozsvár, seeking refuge and purpose. She is employed as a maid by Vilmos, a reluctant Communist Party member with an unwavering dedication to his garden. As Vilmos's botanical brilliance attracts the state's attention, a clash between personal desires and political obligations ensues. Annush, the third narrator, a lovestruck teenager, becomes entangled in a complex web of emotions, grappling with love, loss, and the evolving landscape of her homeland. The tale deepens with Eleonora, who, seeking solace in a monastery, becomes a casualty of political purges and the suppression of religious faith under Romania's oppressive regime. In this epic novel, Romanian-born Hungarian author Andrea Tompa skillfully intertwines these tales, shedding light on the injustices and corruption of a regime that sought to extinguish cultural identities. The lives of Kali, Vilmos, Annush, and Eleonora weave a tapestry of love, resilience, the virtue of roses, and the quiet strength required to endure in the face of political turmoil.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Anmerkungen / beschriftet / Stempel. Set in the 1970s and '80s, this novel explores the life of a Hungarian family in Romania during a time of oppression and poverty under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, referred to by the narrator as the "one-eared hangman." Ceausescu's presence permeates daily life, manifesting in portraits, empty food stores, and mandatory Party demonstrations, as well as haunting the dreams of the populace, who, in their suffering, turn cruel toward one another. The teenage narrator, known as "Girl," navigates her tumultuous environment through long, intricate sentences, grappling with questions about her family's disintegration, her mother's multiple jobs, her father's alcoholism, her grandmother's nostalgic dreams of a better past, and the pervasive persecution around them. Despite the harsh realities, Girl's perspective is rich with love, tenderness, and irony, offering more than mere criticism. The narrative emphasizes the vital roles women play in maintaining the resilience of society. Infused with the wry humor characteristic of Hungarian literature, this work showcases a talented writer, inviting English-language readers to discover her brilliance. …
