Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungary's Communist authorities. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive, abrupt, seemingly ageless. She lives alone in a house that no one else may enter, not even her closest relatives. She is Magda's housekeeper and she has taken control over Magda's household, becoming indispensable to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They share a kind of love--at least until Magda's long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLen Rix's prizewinning translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Door\u003c\/i\u003e at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/08\/2015 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2015 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/06\/2015 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/13\/2015 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Magda Szabo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660819034268,"sku":"9781590177716","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_91c1b53b-41dd-4da0-8855-25a0460553f2.jpg?v=1603897616","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-door-9781590177716","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
