Mándy Iván - A locsolókocsi

Day after day, the seventh bes Totyi waits for the sprinkler truck. He is the best friend of the famous Oma, the lonely leader of the class, who relentlessly grades in his black notebook like the teachers. Only the charmingly cheeky Král Bori, the new girl, looks at Oma as a breath of fresh air, and instead seeks the friendship of little Totyi from Nokedl. Meanwhile, the school table-making competition becomes a test of honor and character. A test in which one friend fails, but which the other passes. And Totyi keeps looking for the sprinkler truck. When the winged waterfall appears at the end of the street, everything becomes clean: the dusty squares, the city, the people - and perhaps souls and friendships as well.

Iván Mándy's development novel written in 1965 is not only for teenagers. In the stories of teenage heroes, the eternal questions of friendship and love, femininity and masculinity, truth and mercy, reality and spirituality are formulated. And for readers sensitive to literature, this unforgettable work woven from archaic symbols and the student life of the 1960s with drawings by László Réber promises a real cultural adventure.
