Hungarian Summary:

“Ez a könyv nem Istennek készült, aki ismeri zsigereimet, nem is az árnyaknak, akik mindenre tanúk, és figyelik ébrenlétem és álmaim óráit, hanem az embereknek. Bátran éltem idáig, remélem, meghalni is így fogok, bátran és hazugság nélkül, de ennek az a feltétele, hogy kimondjam: én öltem meg Emerencet. Ezen az se módosít, hogy nem elpusztítani akartam, hanem megmenteni.”

English Summary:

The Door is a novel by Hungarian writer Magda Szabó. The Door was originally published in Hungary in 1987, and translated into English in 1995 by Stefan Draughon for American publication, and again in 2005 by Len Rix for British publication.

About the Author:

Magda Szabó (October 5, 1917 – November 19, 2007) was a Hungarian novelist. She also wrote dramas, essays, studies, memoirs, and poetry. She is the most translated Hungarian author, with publications in 42 countries and over 30 languages.

Szabó began her writing career as a poet and published her first book of poetry, 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 In 1949 she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize, which was immediately withdrawn when Szabó was labeled an enemy to the Communist Party. She was dismissed from the Ministry in the same year. The Stalinist era from 1949 to 1956 censured any literature, such as Szabó's work, that did not conform to socialist realism. Since her husband was also censured by the communist regime, she was forced to teach in a Calvinist girls' school until 1959.
