About the Author

Profoundly antifascist, he survived the war, but persecution by the Communists drove him from the country in 1948, first to Italy, then to the United States. Embers was published in English for the first time in 2001.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First American Edition. Translated from the Hungarian by George Szertes. What is it to be in love with a pathological liar and fantasist? Esther is, and has been for more than twenty years. Lajos, the liar, married her sister, and when she died, Lajos disappeared. Or did he? And Esther? She was left with her elderly cousin, the all-knowing Nunu, and a worn old house, living a life of the most modest comforts. All is well, but all is tired. Until a telegram arrives announcing that, after all these years, Lajos is returning with his children. The news brings both panm and presents a remarkable narrator in Esther, who delivers the story as both tragedy and comedy on an intimate scale that nevertheless has archetypal power. As new, unread, firstedition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust cover. {Not remainder-marred or price-clipped} BUND. Seller Inventory # 024224
