This 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. Marai delivers a telling indictment of both the Fascist and the Communist systems through his depiction of the tragedy and pathos of this crucial period in post-war European history. The book is intended for anyone interested in the history of Hungary in the years 1944-48, and in the rise of Communism in post-war Eastern Europe more generally.
