Vass Virág - Az örökké short history

Perhaps forever began in that hot year, when Solzhenitsyn was deported from the Soviet Union, Nixon fell into the Watergate scandal, Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest with their song Waterloo, and Sára Kardos, who was convinced that she would spend her whole life wearing medical slippers in the finance department, won a modeling competition...

Sára Kardos grows up as the daughter of a military officer in the military housing estate of a city across the Danube. When the beautiful teenage girl takes a summer job at the local clothing factory, she has no idea that her life will soon change radically, she will be freed from military discipline, out from behind the Iron Curtain, and set off on a catwalk that will lead her far away, to Paris and New York. This runway was his destiny...

THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ETERNAL is inspired by the extraordinary life of one of the most successful mannequins of the Kádár era, overshadowed by the grim reality of history and the Cold War. The novel gives a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of the socialist and international fashion world of the '70s and '80s, into the sparkling everyday life of Budapest, Paris and New York.
