Overview
This volume combines two of Szabó Magda's seminal novels, Az Öz (1959) and A Danaida (1964), showcasing her remarkable ability to delve into the complexities of the human psyche and the socio-political forces shaping individual lives. Szabó's works are celebrated for their profound moral sensitivity, intricate character portraits, and exquisite literary craftsmanship.
-
Az Öz (The Widow): This novel is a poignant indictment of societal and personal complicity in human suffering. Through the tragic tale of Encsy Eszter, a tormented actress, Szabó portrays a world rife with cruelty and despair, where the past weighs heavily on the present. The novel masterfully unravels the corrosive effects of trauma and the destructive interplay of guilt and innocence.
-
A Danaida: Told with sweeping emotional intensity, this novel follows Csándy Katalin, a woman caught in the tensions between love and resentment, self-awareness, and familial obligations. The narrative's swirling undercurrents reflect how personal struggles can lead to spiritual and moral entrapment if divorced from a broader understanding of life and the world.
