Description

The book offers a vivid, day‑by‑day portrait of a Hungarian journalist who was sent to the front as the Great War erupted. From the sweltering cafés of Budapest to the muddy roads of the Balkans, his notes trace a restless journey across battlefields and back‑line towns. He records conversations with officers, the hushed rumors among rank‑and‑file soldiers, and the ordinary moments that punctuate the chaos of war.

Written as a series of fragmented memories rather than a formal diary, the narrative is rich in sensory detail—blistering heat, sudden thunderstorms, the clatter of tramlines, the flicker of distant artillery. The correspondent’s voice carries a mixture of professional urgency and personal bewilderment, revealing how war reporting often meant drifting wherever the front moved. Listeners will hear a human perspective that captures both the grand scale of the conflict and the intimate, fleeting experiences of those who lived through its first year.
