› Find signed collectible books: 'Das Vermächtnis der Eszter. Geschenkausgabe.'Book summary:Die Wiederentdeckung Sándor Márais als großem europäischen Autor des 20. Jahrhunderts begann mit Die Glut. Ganz ähnlich geht es auch im Vermächtnis der Eszter um ein Wiedersehen nach langer Zeit, das bei den Beteiligten alte Erinnerungen und Gefühle aufwirbelt: Nach mehr als 20 Jahren trifft Eszter Lajos wieder, den Mann ihres Lebens.
Sehr markant ist sie nicht, die Stimme von Donata Höffer. Angenehm, aber eher unscheinbar, so der erste Eindruck. Aber ebenso, wie Márais dichte Erzählung erst nach einer gewissen Zeit einen starken Sog entwickelt, nimmt auch der Reiz der eindringlichen, aber auf jegliche Effekthascherei oder starke Betonung verzichtenden Vortragsweise immer mehr zu. Nach und nach erfährt man vieles über diese verworrene Liebesgeschichte, und warum Lajos damals Eszters Schwester heiratete. Donata Höffer bringt uns die vielschichtige Frauenfigur so nahe, dass man am Ende sogar Eszters widersprüchliches Fazit begreift: "Das Leben hat mich auf so wunderbare Art beschenkt und mich so vollkommen ausgeraubt." Spieldauer: 205 Minuten, ungekürzte Lesung, 2 MCs. --Christian Stahl [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Embers'Book summary:In Sándor Márai's Embers, two old men, once the best of friends, meet after a 41-year break in their relationship. They dine together, taking the same places at the table that they had assumed on the last meal they shared, then sit beside each other in front of a dying fire, one of them nearly silent, the other one, his host, slowly and deliberately tracing the course of their dead friendship. This sensitive, long-considered elaboration of one man's lifelong grievance is as gripping as any adventure story and explains why Márai's forgotten 1942 masterpiece is being compared with the work of Thomas Mann. In some ways, Márai's work is more modern than Mann's. His brevity, simplicity, and succinct, unadorned lyricism may call to mind Latin American novelists like Gabriel García Márquez, or even Italo Calvino. It is the tone of magical realism, although Márai's work is only magical in the sense that he completely engages his reader, spinning a web of words as his wounded central character describes his betrayal and abandonment at the hands of his closest friend. Even the setting, an old castle, evokes dark fairy tales.
The story of the rediscovery of Embers is as fascinating as the novel itself. A celebrated Hungarian novelist of the 1930s, Márai survived the war but was persecuted by the Communists after they came to power. His books were suppressed, even destroyed, and he was forced to flee his country in 1948. He died in San Diego in 1989, one year before the neglected Embers was finally reprinted in his native land. This reprint was discovered by the Italian writer and publisher Roberto Calasso, and the subsequent editions have become international bestsellers. All of Márai's novels are now slated for American publication. --Regina Marler [via]
