Uz Zeva sliekšņa
Magda Sabo ir pasaulē visvairāk izdotā un lasītā ungāru rakstniece. Romāns “Uz Zeva sliekšņa” ir jau viņas devītā grāmata, kas iznāk Latvijā.
Tajā lasāmas gaišas un spilgtas atmiņas par Grieķijas ceļojumu, kuras ar patiku izbaudīs antīkās kultūras pazinēji. Savukārt tie, kas Grieķijā ir jau bijuši vai arī tikai pošas turp, autores acīm skatīs izcilos tūrisma objektus un krāšņo dabu. Piedzīvojumu un humora mīļotāji izpratīs traģikomiskās raizes, ko rakstniecei sagādājusi 20. gs. 60. gadu vēl nesakārtotā grieķu tūrisma industrija. kaut gan Magda Sabo par visu nedienu vaininieku uzskata atriebīgo Apollonu.

About the author
Magda Szabó
79 books1,416 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 In 1949 she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize, which was--for political reasons--withdrawn from her on the very day it was given.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 .

This book is a journey itself. It takes you back in time, in Greece as it was in 1966. The beauty, the light, the ruins haven't changed much and you will find here all the poetry and magic you imagine Greece is about. You will also be amazed about how different it was to travel in pre-internet era. You will learn about the country of the writer, Hungary.
A lovely book, most recommended if you are interested in classical sites such as Delphi, Mycenae, Knossos, Rhodes and of course, mosty, magnificently, magically, Athens.

Μια όμορφη περιήγηση στην Ελλάδα του 1966 με τη ματιά των Ούγγρων επισκεπτών. Οι τρικλοποδιές που υπέστησαν αποδίδονται στον θεό Απόλλωνα. Υπέροχες σελίδες, συγκινητικές.Οι φιλόζωοι θα αγαπήσουν τις σελίδες που αναφέρονται στα σκυλιά της Ρόδου.

Nagyon élvezetes és érdekes olvasmány, de Szabó Magda szentelhetett volna több időt és figyelmet a helyeknek, ahol járt, ahelyett hogy végignyafogja a könyv jelentős részét ("meleg van, fáj a lábam, nincs pénzünk, koszos a szállás" stb.). Gyönyörűen van megírva a nyafogás is, stílusához hűen, de kedvet azt épp nem csinált egy görögországi utazáshoz...
