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.
