{"product_id":"love-other-stories-9780811216258","title":"Love \u0026 Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eTibor Déry (1894-1977), winner of Hungary's highest artistic honor, the Kossuth Prize, in 1948, was first imprisoned in 1934 by the Horthy regime for translating André Gide's diary of his journey to Russia, and again, over twenty years later, for his writings and political activities during the Hungarian Revolt of 1956 against Soviet occupation. Around the world, Tibor Déry Committees formed: Picasso, Camus, Sartre, Bertrand Russel, E.M. Forster, and in the Indian Congress Committee were among the many involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Tibor Déry is venerated as one of the most important literary figures of Hungary and, like Chekhov, a master of the modern short story. \u003cem\u003eLove and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e presents some of Déry's finest work. In \"Games of the Underworld,\" ordinary people in Budapest try to survive the winter of war in cramped cellars and encounter menacing Arrow-Cross men, a towering giant, a blind horse, a vinegar sponge; in \"The Circus,\" a group of bored children transmogrifies into a grotesque spectacle; in \"Love,\" a political prisoner is released after seven years and returns home to his wife and son. George Szirtes, the award-winning translator from the Hungarian and winner of the 2004 T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry, gives a brilliant introduction to this visionary collection that deals passionately with questions of responsibility and conscience, of social justice and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811216258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.34w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 509\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/16\/2005 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tibor Dery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44870626377909,"sku":"9780811216258","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0ec59840-dca4-428f-9bf4-df62069610ad.jpg?v=1733240774","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-other-stories-9780811216258","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
