"Nem!" - mondta megint vidáman - hozzámenni, ugyan dehogy. Nem, nem! - Ezen már annyira nevetett, hogy elkezdett köhögni, már nem is tudott szólni, csak integetett, kifutott a szobából, s szaladtában köhögött és nevetett. Benyitott a konyhába. Janka most már ott volt, jól látszottak mind a ketten, Annuska megint lovat akarhatott játszani, mert Janka ismét odahajtotta az arca mellé az arcát, s egy pillanatra olyanná vált a két arc, mintha egyetlen ábrázat volna. Akkor már tudta, hogy gyűlöli Annuskát, de Jankát is gyűlöli, és Jankával sem tud élni tovább.
A szemlélők
... ráhajolt Sutor mikrofonjára, és hideg dühvel, pontosan tagolva, azt mondta a "Dögölj meg!" "Mille remerciments, Madame!" - köszönte meg Sutor elragadtatva, mert ez több volt és nagyobb, mint amit remélt. Mikor Caesar kikapta a kezéből a mikrofont, kitépte a magnetofonból a szalagot, földhöz verte a gépet, és Sutort lerugdosta a kiállítási csarnok lépcsőjén, már valamennyi belga és francia diplomata kinn állt, nemcsak a közönség meg a járókelők, és nézték, hogy gurul le Tristan a rengeteg lépcsőn.

About the author
Magda Szabó
79 books1,414 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 In 1949 she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize, which was--for political reasons--withdrawn from her on the very day it was given.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 .

Egy temetésre készülő család tagjainak gondolatait olvashatjuk, ebből derülnek ki a tíz évvel korábbi események. Cselekmény szinte nincs, mégis végig lekötött.
Tényleg ennyi gyűlölködő, kicsinyes, önző ember van? Végig ez a kérdés járt a fejemben. Nehezen tudom elhinni, és nem is szeretném. Szerencsére van, akinek sikerül ezen felülemelkedni.
