A Book of Memories - Péter Nádas

Descriere A Book of Memories - Péter Nádas

First published in Hungary in 1986 after a five-year battle with censors, this is both a confessional autobiographical novel and psychological inquest into the repressed nightmares of Europe's recent past. \n \nFirst published in Hungary in 1986 after a five-year battle with censors, Péter Nádas's A Book of Memories is a modern classic, a multi-layered narrative that tells three parallel stories of love and betrayal. The first takes place in East Berlin in the 1970s and features an unnamed Hungarian writer ensnared in a love triangle with a young German and a famous aging actress. The second, composed by the writer, is the story of a late nineteenth century German aesthete whose experiences mirror his own. And the third voice is that of a friend from the writer's childhood, who brings his own unexpected bearing to the story. Compared by critics to Proust, Mann, and Joyce, this sensuous tour de force is unquestionably a masterpiece (The New Republic).\n
