70 Years Later, A New Chance To Read 'Marriage'
February 17, 2011 Back in print after 70 years, Sandor Marai's gorgeous Hungarian novel about infidelity and shattered love still resonates with surprises.
Excerpt: 'Esther's Inheritance'
December 4, 2008 I don't know what else God has in store for me. But before I die I want to write down what happened the day Lajos visited me for the last time and robbed me.
