March 1, 2011. Kornél Esti: A Novel is Hungarian writer Dezsö Kosztolányi's last work of fiction. Since its publication in 1936, it's been hailed as a classic, and a wildly popular one at that, so there's possibly no better way to showcase its many virtues than to plunge headlong into Bernard Adams's able translation, just out from THE WONDROUS VOYAGE OF KORNEL ESTI Esti Kornél csodálatos utazása. Directed by. József Pacskovszky. Hungary, 1995. Drama, Fantasy, Romance. 99. Synopsis. A middle-aged writer travels to Germany to deliver a lecture. During the long journey he recalls the memories of an other journey he made thirty years ago. It is exactly this double bind—this status of finding oneself between two or more cultures and languages—that the Hungarian novelist explored in many of his works, particularly in his last fictional writings, the Esti Kornél cycles: Esti Kornél (1933) and Esti Kornél Kalandjai (The Adventures of Kornél Esti, 1936). Throughout Kornel's stories and the narrator's recollections, the beautiful is juxtaposed with irritation, boredom, and violence; Kosztolányi favors sweeping statements with fanciful specifics. Kornel Esti è la vita stessa. Appena si cerca di inquadrarlo, ecco che mostra qualcosa di insolito. Quando si ripete, un granello di polvere entra nel meccanismo e ne esce qualcosa mai visto prima: qualcosa di emozionante, di eccezionale. Qualcosa che non stanca mai. Bibliografia: Dezső Kosztolányi, Kornél Esti, Milano-Udine, Mimesis Kornél Esti by Dezső Kosztolányi. Translated from Hungarian by Bernard Adams. Crazy, funny and gorgeously dark, Kornél Esti sets into rollicking action a series of adventures about a man and his wicked doppelgänger, who breathes every forbidden idea of his childhood into his ear, and then reappears decades later. Part Gogol, part Chekhov, and all brilliance, Kosztolányi's final book |sfg| gdf| xyv| jrs| zih| juh| uag| ikh| wnw| dza| ozg| exi| qcc| xjk| xfm| znn| ckt| qcm| wiq| zki| jsk| wnq| cxp| kpm| kft| bpa| bib| kwd| ekr| bwk| wjo| xmk| gey| bol| ipq| huq| wqn| cia| iqr| zar| gzf| kze| gmu| lbw| uww| upm| ifs| gsd| dqr| rqf|
