Description

Translated by Paul Olchvary Before disappearing into a Nazi concentration camp in 1944, Pap was acclaimed as one of Hungary's finest writers. In this first English translation of his intense 1937 novel about a young Jewish boy's crisis of faith, this realistic and powerful work may at last claim the modern masterpiece status it so richly deserves. 'Its main merit is that of the superb quality of its language and of its psychic and even spiritual insights... The finest translation into English of any Hungarian book I know' - John Lukacs
