Vekerdy

The volume of interviews made in 2001 - which can be read again after many years - is a real treat for those interested in the life and work of the legendary psychologist, who died in 2019.

In his inimitable style, Tamás Vekerdy ​​tells about himself, about his great encounters, about the turning points of his life, about the difficult and joyful moments of his career. He reveals the strangeness of his family, his double origin, the complications of his life, his relationship to history and tradition. He talks about his exhilarating and harrowing school experiences, the much-criticized and, in his opinion, child-killing Hungarian public school, and the everyday life of the Waldorf school.

We can find out what art meant to him (including theater, which he especially loved and understood), faith, transcendence, and how he saw the Hungarian world of the last century.

The conversation with Judit Jambor reproduces Vekerdy's personality so faithfully (his original thinking, profound humanity, great education and great humor) that we can almost hear his voice while reading and imagine sitting between the two of them, enjoying the fun and splendid company.
