Marai Sandor,: Versek, idezetek es rovid irasok

Sándor Márai, the Hungarian novelist best known in English for Embers, left behind a body of writing in which a single sentence can carry the weight of a chapter. Here, in a slim paperback gathered by Sándor Tóth, his poems and short prose pieces sit alongside a selection of quotations drawn from his work.

It is a book for dipping into rather than reading straight through, and the title suggests a Hungarian-language edition. It will suit readers who already love Márai and want his voice close at hand, a few lines at a time.
