Karátson Endre - Retúrjegy

Endre Karátson fled to the West in 1956, after the revolution was crushed. He settled in France, where he became a professor of comparative literature and a fiction writer. He taught in French and wrote in Hungarian, in the duplication in which many of his contemporaries, the creators of the so-called Western Hungarian literature, went abroad. The book guides the reader through challenging and privileged spiritual adventures, with whom the author maintains a dialogue throughout, discussing the stimulating experiences of restarting life abroad, participation in the Western present, and the further development of Hungarian relations left behind. Readings that help self-knowledge, traveling companions, the cultural revolution of 1968, the home-making meetings in the Mikes Kelemen Kör in the Netherlands, the hiding of Ávós in the ranks of emigration, the French education system, the dilemmas, joys and disappointments of the return after 1989 come to life.
