Sándor Anikó - Tangó - A lélek tánca (A)

I wrote this book for those who have at least once left their lips with a soft sigh: "It would be nice to tango, but unfortunately it's not possible..." I would like to make them realize that they are wrong, because yes, it is possible, whether women or men, if they are young, if they are old, if they are poor, if they are rich, if they are married, if they live alone, if they have ever danced in their life, if they have not.

Everyone can tango, there are no more lonely evenings, no more longing for company. Loves and friendships are interwoven, cooled relationships are revived, moments full of emotions replace the wasted time. Tango opens up a wonderful, new perspective in their lives, which they might not have been able to imagine before.

Because tango is not just a dance! Tango is a way of life, meditation, passion, flight, freedom, and once you try it, you will never want to give it up. Walking in an embrace with someone - even a stranger -, experiencing the deep interdependence, becoming a part of the other, then unfolding from the embrace and moving on... This is tango.

"The hardness with which I used to tell the world that I was strong all my life disappeared from my face. I allow myself what I never did before: I follow the man, surrendering and unconditionally. I dance, I feel, that is, I live!
In Buenos Aires, life once again invited me to a dance..."

The author, who was originally a journalist, decided one day to turn his back on his whole life up to that point, get out of the squirrel's wheel of going to hell, and set out to find his own path that leads to his true desires. He followed his plan, so it happened that, leaving everything behind, he first flew to Buenos Aires for six months to learn Argentine tango, and then walked along the eight hundred kilometer pilgrimage route, El Camino. Then his life took a complete turn.
In his first novel, which became a bestseller in a short time, he wrote about the miracle of El Camino, later a book was published about his adventure in Buenos Aires, and then more and more about his simultaneously external and internal trips to India, Mariazell, Indonesia, Thailand. As a life counselor - and of course as a middle-aged woman - she painted an authentic picture of the world of wives replaced by younger ones, of unemployed Hungarian pilgrims looking for a way out of the credit trap, and of the shocking stories emerging from the background of lives that have fallen into a hole.
