Karinthy Frigyes - Tanár mister kérem ( 2016 )

Mr. Tanár please is one of Karinthy's most significant works, dating from her early writing period. A scratch garland made in detail, like How You Write. Since its first appearance, it has been gaining unchanging beauty for a new generation of adults and young people. The basic mood of the volume is filled with the sweet nostalgia of the Introduction. The writer returns to childhood by inverting the order of imagination and reality. The scratches bring to life the mood and humor and memory and beautiful youth of the student days: the uncontrollable laughter of big teasing (The class laughs), the enthusiastic, childlike dreams of adolescence (Lógok a szeren), the girls looked at by the eyes of teenage boys (The girls). and the science that promises miracles (I'm experimenting). The other layer of the volume is related to How I Write: the feat of style introduces everyone to the eternal human typicality of the answers and papers of good students and bad students, and the charming awkwardness of the student diary. The law of the genre brings out the magic of brevity and concise characterization from Karinthy, she can bring her figures and situations to life with one or two sentences: the "failed man" and the teacher who failed her, the tardiness, the misreading of the textbook, the certificate explanation and the psychology of children's lies. The book, like Molnár's: Pál's Street Boy or Milne's: Winnie the Pooh, belongs to that rare layer of world literature that adults and children alike enjoy picking up, and those who have read it as a child will gladly read it again as an adult.
