Pöttyös Panni naplója

Pöttyös Panni #4

by Mária Szepes, Anna F. Győrffy (Illustrator)

Panni iskolás lett. A második padba ültették. Hogyan mesélhetné el első osztályos élményeit Tamarának, ha még nem tanult meg írni? A nagymama remek ötlettel áll elő: naplót vesz Panninak, aki pedig a legmulatságosabb kalandokat a füzetlapokra rajzolja. Kockás Peti bezzeg rögtön tudni akarja, mit jelentenek a rajzok Pöttyös Panni naplójában.

About the author

Szepes was born Magdolna Scherbach into a Hungarian family of theater stars in Budapest. Her father, Sándor Papir, was a bon vivant and great star of Budapest's stages. Her mother was primadonna. Her parents and her brother were to her like "brothers and sisters in spirit", as well as she admitted only spiritual relationship: "Everything else is just experience, engagement, disengagement – karma."[clarification needed]
From 1916 to 1933, she appeared as a film actress (mostly under the name Magda Papir). One year after marrying Béla Szepes in 2 January 1931, she accompanied him to Berlin, where they lived until Hungary's Anschluß towards war's end. In her book Magie der Liebe ("Magic of Love"), Szepes writes about the marriage, which lasted 56 years, and discusses the so-called "Alchemistic Marriage", the dissolution of the ego in the other.
Szepes studied literature, art history, and biology in Berlin. Back in Hungary she first worked as a journalist, screenplay writer, and author. Her first novel The Red Lion was written in a hideout during World War II and became a worldwide bestseller of esoteric literature. The two Raguel volumes are referred to as her chief work by Szepes herself.
