La Mujer Justa
Sandor Marai

Salamandra, 2005

Magnífico!
Yo descubrí a Sandor Márai por una profesora de la universidad. Era un nombre completamente desconocido para mí. Al leer "La Mujer Justa" se llega a la conclusión que en la vida siempre hay diferentes visiones y versiones de las cosas. El libro arranca por la visión de ...
  
  











  



  
Casanova in Bolzano
Sandor Marai

Vintage, 2005

A masterpiece of writing and translation
Just a note to add my enthusiastic review of this masterpiece to the others on view, and to point out the richness of George Szirtes' masterly translation. I can think of few books one can read, even in their original language, with this novel's extraordinary evocative ...
  
  











  



  
Embers
Sandor Marai

Vintage, 2002

The candle burns to its stub!
Embers is a fine story of two old men meeting after 41 years to have dinner and, basically, bring some resolution to the past. The first half of the novel details their youthful relationship, but the second half of the book is pretty much taken over by a retired ...
  
  











  



  
El Ultimo Encuentro / the Final Meeting (Narrativa)
Sandor Marai, Judit Xantus

Salamandra, 2001

Searching for truth and the meaning of frienship and life...
This book was written by Sandor Marai more than 50 years ago, in Hungary, and was banned. It was then published in 1999, and in 2004, its 23rd edition was published. This itself made me pick it up. A book that has been edited 23 times in 5 years must have ...
  
  











  



  
Divorcio En Buda
Sandor Marai

Salamandra, 2006

Excelente novela
Discrepo con el comentario anterior donde se presenta a esta novela como una narrativa sin sentido. El libro presenta un problema comun, pero no por ello carente de tragedia. La novela tiene muchas aristas que despiertan la reflexion y la emocion del lector. La ...

Central European University Press, 2001

Buy,beg,borrow or steal but read this book !
This is a wonderful memoir set in Hungary covering the last days of World War II and the gradual take over of power by the communists.The memoir ends in 1948 when Marai left his homeland for good. As anyone who has read Embers will know Marai is a very gifted writer ...

Gloed

Wereldbibliotheek, 2000
  
  











  



  
Conversations in Bolzano
Sandor Marai

Penguin Books Ltd, 2005

Conversations? Monologues more likely.
Readers of Marai's masterpiece Embers (see my review) may expect lengthy, unrealistic, but totally gripping dialogues in this work also; but whereas that artifice worked very well in the other book, here it is for the most part tedious and repetitive. The central ...
