[edit] Azarel
Before disappearing into a Nazi concentration camp in 1944, Pap was acclaimed as one of Hungary's finest writers. In this first English translation of his intense 1937 novel about a young Jewish boy's crisis of faith, this realistic and powerful work may at last claim the modern masterpiece status it so richly deserves.
The first-ever English translation of the story of a boy's crisis of faith, written by one of Hungary's finest writers just years before he disappeared in a Nazi concentration camp. AZAREL chronicles the rebellious doings of young Gyuri, who is raised by his grandfather. When the old man, to whom he has become devoted in a child's deep way, dies, Gyuri is forced to return to his parents, who are now almost strangers to him. Gyuri's rabbi father expects filial obedience and Judaic devotion from his son, but he is furious at his father for trying to make him believe in a God he has little use for. Leaving home, Gyuri finds himself hurled into an early breakdown. Full of prophetic and haunting language, AZAREL is a moving remark on the racial and religious tensions building up to WWII that may finally lay claim to its richly deserved masterpiece status.
