A seamless combination of the political, literary and personal history of postwar Hungary. This scathing, at times humorous, and always insightful memoir by exiled Hungarian novelist Sandor Marai provides one of the most poignant and humanly alive portraits of life in Hungary between the German occupation in 1944 and the solidification of communist power in 1948.
For Hungarians the past is always present at the dinner table, as is curiosity, sensitivity and a love for the spicy parts of life. This is a culture, after all, who love their paprika almost as much as they love a good yarn.
