Ablonczy László - Tamási Áron sorsjátékai

Few people know the oeuvre of Áron Tamási as well as László Ablonczy, but what is perhaps even more important: few understand and feel so precisely and in real depth the principles, convictions and passions of Transylvanian Hungarian literature - recognized for his prose work, but in terms of his dramatic works not sufficiently appreciated - the plays of its emblematic author. The critic takes one by one the plays that were realized and remained in fragments, performed countless times and banished to the desk drawer by censorship, revealing in detail the biographical circumstances and cultural-political background of their creation, as well as their reception in the theater of the time, as well as the related history of reception. Thanks to his essayistic analyses, we can get a nuanced picture of Tamási's dedicated and tireless struggle to renew the Hungarian theater in addition to the theater history data. It is certain that as a director, dramatist, actor, and even as a viewer, you will look at the dramas of Áron Tamási differently, who by reading this book will gain an initiation into the simultaneously magical and parabolic world of games of chance based on ancient beliefs, medieval mysteries, and Székely folk tales.
