A fehér király الهنغارية 2018

The novel is the greatest international success of contemporary Hungarian literature, and has been translated into thirty languages. How is an eleven-year-old adolescent working on his dad in the work camp of the Danube Channel before his father? How does the father lack and the family lies or secret stories built around the deportation? What kind of hopes do you live in a life-threatening situation that is no longer easy to adolescent? This is a novel written by The White King. Where funny or tragic stories emerge from an absurd but childlike world, it is a beautiful world that, in its elements and in its actual history, is identical to the Transylvanian and Romanian of the early eighties. The little boy boy has to face suddenly the burden of adulthood due to the loss of his father. The protagonist is able to see the brutal everyday life playfully and mythically in the limiting position of childless innocence-innocent optimism and hopelessness of adulthood.
