Description

A strong memoir of struggle, politics, literature, and family living by among Europe's top intellectuals.When George Konrád was a young child of eleven, he, his cousin, and two relatives were able to flee to Budapest in the Hungarian country your day before deportations taken through his hometown. Fundamentally, they certainly were the only real Jewish kids of the city to survive the Holocaust. A Visitor in My Place evokes the life span of 1 of Western Europe's most accomplished contemporary authors, you start with his success throughout the closing weeks of the conflict. Konrád catches the hazards, the expectations, the betrayals and brave acts of the time via a number of carefully selected attacks that sometimes border on the unique (as whenever a dead German soldier starts to talk, trying to rationalize his actions).The end-of the conflict starts the child on an amazing job in words and politics.
