Description

A somber voice invites you into a Budapest shrouded in fog, where time seems to pause and the streets dissolve into a gray, watery haze. The opening scene follows strangers moving through slick, mud‑filled alleys, their bodies bent under invisible loads, while strange, black carts ferry death and life in equal measure. Vivid, almost tactile details—lamp‑light halos, the smell of gun‑powder, the cracked faces of war‑scarred soldiers—create a dreamlike tableau that feels both haunting and immediate.

The collection continues in the same lyrical, observational style, turning everyday moments into quiet meditations on memory, loss, and the lingering echo of conflict. Each vignette captures a slice of urban existence, from bustling markets to quiet hospital corridors, all filtered through a narrator who both observes and questions the act of storytelling itself. Listeners will find themselves drifting through a city that is at once familiar and uncanny, where every whispered detail invites reflection on the fragility of human life.

About the author

Cécile Tormay

1876–1937

A major Hungarian novelist and public intellectual of the early 20th century, she was widely read in her lifetime and became especially known for her memoir of revolutionary Hungary after World War I. Her legacy remains complicated because her literary fame was closely tied to right-wing politics and openly antisemitic writing.
