Horváth László Imre - Helyőrség Maszadában

AD 73., Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea. The Romans crushed the Jewish uprising in an apocalyptic war. After the fall of Masada, the last stronghold of the rebels, the Tenth Legion leaves a garrison in the castle. The novel begins where history ends: a handful of people suffering from post-traumatic shock, soldiers, slaves, camp prostitutes, civilian and non-civilian, innocent and not-so-innocent survivors trying to get on with life, assigned to or subordinate to the garrison. They are involuntary witnesses of the destruction of worlds, the birth of religions, and eternal war. And the line of poetry written by János Pilinszky two thousand years later proves to be true for the time and state of being after the ancient holocaust: "what happened somehow cannot end".
