They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General's beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game wastaken but during which something was lost forever.

The Pendragon Legend (A Pendragon Legenda - Angol)
Kiadó: Pushkin PressAt an end-of-the London season soiree, the young Hungarian scholar-dilettante Janos Batky is introduced to the Earl of Gwynedd, a reclusive eccentric who is the subject of strange rumours. Invited to the family seat, Pendragon Castle in North Wales,Batky receives a mysterious phone-call warning him not to go... Antal Szerb's first novel The Pendragon Legend (1934), set in Wales is a gently satirical blend of gothic and romantic genres, crossed with the murder mystery format to produce a fast-movingand often hilarious romp. But beneath the surface, the reader becomes aware of a steely intelligence probing moral, psychological and religious questions.The book is a philosophical thriller/comedy/murder-mystery/ghost story set first in London and then in Wales. A mystical element is diffused through an increasingly complex plot, as all threads converge in the final chapters.TovábbISBN: 9781901285895nyelv(ek): angolRaktárkészlet: 1-10 pldWebes ár:

The Book of Fathers (Apák Könyve - Angol)
Kiadó: Time WarnerCsaládregény, mely tizenkét nemzedékről szól, főképpen azoknak az elsőszülötteiről.Háromszáz évnyi utazás a magyar térben és időben.When in 1705 Kornell Csillag's grandfather returns destitute to his native Hungary from exile, he happensacross a gold fob-watch gleaming in the mud. The shipwrecked fortunes of the Csillag family suddenly take a new and marvelous turn. The golden watch brings an unexpected gift to the future generations of firstborn sons: clairvoyance. Passed down fromfather to son, this gift offers the ability to look into the future or back into history-for some it is considered a blessing, for others a curse. No matter the outcome, each generation records its astonishing, vivid, and revelatory visions into abattered journal that becomes known as The Book of Fathers. For three hundred years the Csillag family line meanders unbroken across Hungary's rivers and vineyards, through a land overrun by wolves and bandits, scarred by plague and massacre, andbrutalized by despots. Impetuous, tenderhearted, and shrewd, the Csillags give birth to scholars and gamblers, artists and entrepreneurs. Led astray by unruly passions, they marry frigid French noblewomen and thieving alehouse whores. They change theirname and their religion, and change them back. They wander from home but always return, and through it all The Book of Fathers bears witness to holocaust and wedding feast alike.TovábbISBN: 9780349119311nyelv(ek): angolRaktárkészlet: 1-10 pldWebes ár:

All That Man Is
Kiadó: Random House UkA magnificent and ambitiously conceived portrait of contemporary life, by a genius of realism.Nine men. Each of them at a different stage in life, each of them away from home, and each of themstriving--in the suburbs of Prague, in an overdeveloped Alpine village, beside a Belgian motorway, in a dingy Cyprus hotel--to understand what it means to be alive, here and now. Tracing a dramatic arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age,the ostensibly separate narratives of All That Man Is aggregate into a picture of a single shared existence, a picture that interrogates the state of modern manhood while bringing to life, unforgettably, the physical and emotional terrain of anincreasingly globalized Europe. And so these nine lives form an ingenious and new kind of novel, in which David Szalay expertly plots a dark predicament for the twenty-first-century man.David SzalayHe was born in Canada, moved to the UK the following year and has lived there ever since. He studied at Oxford University and has written a number of radio dramas for the BBC.TovábbISBN: 9780099593690nyelv(ek): angolRaktárkészlet: 1-10 pldWebes ár:

Abigail (Pb) (Abigél - Angol)
Kiadó: Quercus PublishingA teenage girl's difficult journey towards adulthood in a time of war.A school story for grownups that is also about our inability or refusal to protect children from history SARAH MOSSOf all Szabo's novels, Abigail deserves the widest readership. It's an adventure story, brilliantly written TIBOR FISCHEROf all her novels, Magda Szabo's Abigail is indeed the most widely read in her native Hungary. Now, fifty years after it was written, it appears for the first time in English, joining Katalin Street and The Door in a loose trilogy about the impact of waron those who have to live with the consequences.It is late 1943 and Hitler, exasperated by the slowness of his Hungarian ally to act on the Jewish question and alarmed by the weakness on his southern flank, is preparing to occupy the country. Foreseeing this, and concerned for his daughter's safety,a Budapest father decides to send her to a boarding school away from the capital.A lively, sophisticated, somewhat spoiled teenager, she is not impressed by the reasons she is given, and when the school turns out to be a fiercely Puritanical one in a provincial city a long way from home, she rebels outright. Her superior attitudeoffends her new classmates and things quickly turn sour.It is the start of a long and bitter learning curve that will open her eyes to her arrogant blindness to other people's true motives and feelings. Exposed for the first time to the realities of life for those less privileged than herself, andincreasingly confronted by evidence of the more sinister purposes of the war, she learns lessons about the nature of loyalty, courage, sacrifice and love.Translated from the Hungarian by Len RixTovábbISBN: 9780857058492nyelv(ek): magyarRaktárkészlet: 1-10 pldWebes ár:
