A szemlélők
A szemlélők - ha úgy tetszik - voltaképpen szerelmes regény, ám egymásba szerető, ezúttal még csak nem is fiatal hősei nyugati és kelet-európai szemléletük következtében nem egyesíthetik életüket: a jelenkori Montague és Capulet csak olyan kurta időre állapodhatik meg egymás mellett, amennyire egy madár költöző útján pihenni ereszkedik alá a lomb közé. Persze nemcsak szerelmes regény. Nincsenek kipreparálható, elidegeníthető, csak önmagukban egyedül jelentkező érzelmek, minden mindennel összefügg. Ebben a könyvben is.

About the author
Magda Szabó
79 books1,192 followersMagda Szabó was a Hungarian writer, arguably Hungary's foremost female novelist. She also wrote dramas, essays, studies, memories and poetry.
Born in Debrecen, Szabó graduated at the University of Debrecen as a teacher of Latin and of Hungarian. She started working as a teacher in a Calvinist all-girl school in Debrecen and Hódmezővásárhely. Between 1945 and 1949 she was working in the Ministry of Religion and Education. She married the writer and translator Tibor Szobotka in 1947.
She began her writing career as a poet, publishing her first book Bárány ("Lamb") in 1947, which was followed by Vissza az emberig ("Back to the Human") in 1949. In 1949 she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize, which was--for political reasons--withdrawn from her on the very day it was given. She was dismissed from the Ministry in the same year.
During the establishment of Stalinist rule from 1949 to 1956, the government did not allow her works to be published. Since her unemployed husband was also stigmatized by the communist regime, she was forced to teach in an elementary school during this period.
Her first novel, Freskó ("Fresco"), written in these years was published in 1958 and achieved overwhelming success among readers. Her most widely read novel, Abigél ("Abigail", 1970), is an adventure story about a schoolgirl boarding in eastern Hungary during the war.
She received several prizes in Hungary, and her works have been published in 42 countries. In 2003, she was the winner of the French literary prize Prix Femina Étranger for the best foreign novel.
Her novel Abigél was popularized through a much-loved television series in 1978. Abigél was also chosen as the sixth most popular novel at the Hungarian version of Big Read. Her three other novels that were in the top 100 are Für Elise , An Old-Fashioned Story , and The Door .

Nemzeti büszkeség és balítélet.

Nagyon jó, és nagyon más, mint bármi, amit eddig Szabó Magdától olvastam. Ennek a műnek a témája a kivándorlás. Mi lesz azzal, aki elhagyja az országot? Nem tudja elfelejteni, nem tudja levetkőzni, nem tudja eltitkolni. Ahogy én érzem, nem lehet nem szeretni.
Na de mi lesz azzal, aki itt marad?
A szemlélők - a külföldiek, a gazdagok, akik biztonságban élnek, akiknél nincs és nem volt háború - nem érthetik meg az élőket. Ugyanúgy, mint Angéla Az őzben, küldhetnek szeretetcsomagokat, cipősdobozt karácsonykor, jótékonykodhatnak. De nem érthetik, hogy milyen itt élni - igazán szenvedni, és igazán boldognak lenni.
Vajon én melyik csoporthoz tartozom?

Ez nagyon rossz volt, vagy nagyon rosszul öregedett. Az áthajlások, a kihagyások, az elhallgatások, a kétnevűségek, az ugrások, a visszaugrások, az utalások, az átnevezett evidenciák. Ha jól értem, ez akart lenni AZ avantgárd mű, még írásjel sincs a regény utolsó mondata végén
(így, aha)
Sajnos a korabeli vagányságok rémes modorossággá merevedtek. Mondjuk ez nem a drága szerző hibája, ez elkerülhetetlen.
Nyűglődés volt a végére érni.
