Dobai Bálint - Titántorkú Sámson

Literature is a storehouse of astonishing ideas, someone even thought of writing the metal Toldi. The protagonist of the poetic novel is Sámson, the heavy metal singer with a titanium throat, who gets involved in amazing adventures. Few such witty works have been created in Hungarian poetry, Bálint Dobai excels with every line, and he jokes in such a way that his passion for hard music burns. He found a worthy partner in the illustrator István Csillag, who also parodies the excesses of the metal world with great visual humor, but he does so with great love. This is a sumptuously executed, extremely funny and very lovable book, and not only for retrockers, but for anyone who likes to laugh. The face of a beautiful woman burns on the birthing bed, fat droplets of steam graze it. Who is holding her hand: as if Miklós Toldi is helping to push Meat Loaf from the radio. The doctor turns away because he needs pliers, because the baby would break out with his fist. No one can see that he is holding his finger like this: as the crowd crushes Black Sabbath. He also sticks out his other hand , and pushes him, as if he were hiding from a sleeping bag at a festival. The doctor catches him before he falls, the saved tile on the floor sighs. The child screams. Everything trembles, an event has occurred in the galactic order, the whole Earth ponders the passing away... This is how Titan-throated Samson came into the world.
