Product description
"Literary history? Also. Exciting investigation of who these former creators really were. Also. Life exploration, oeuvre analysis? That too. Age and pathology? That too. But most of all real Háy prose. Full of humor, thought, ever He transitions so easily into the world of other ages, so naturally he speaks of the creators of the past that we don’t even realize how many years he separates from them, and we enthusiastically immerse ourselves in this world whose heroes are well known from textbooks, often boring or figures just considered uninteresting.
“I’m a writer, I didn’t want to see other writers as sculptures, I didn’t want to live among sculptures. I wanted to free them from this captivity because iron armor only works well for medieval knights, not writers. I wanted them to be touchable, direct and addressable again. To be like our friends, relatives, classmates. To look human, great and fallible, to be angry with, and to be loved. To make every reader feel, they are still talking to us, and they are talking about us, speaking to our destiny. I wanted liveliness because literature is not a museum object. It is there in our lives if we want it to be there. "(János Háy)
Who are you? as a writing business is also unprecedented. Huge work, huge, many years of work. And the result is a book that, for the first time since Antal Szerb, dares to reach out to the creators of Hungarian literature in a novel and easy-to-read style. "
