I have a reciprocal life with a poet

A novel of a love? The true story of an astonishing marriage? Or is it just an exciting account of an offended woman’s life? This, too, is the most captivating reading in which Rozália Bartos tells, without embellishment, how she met the then nationally famous poet, how the days of love, then marriage, and then separation took place. Poverty, hunger, fighting, child murder. We can learn about intimacy that desires the title page of tabloids these days: János Vajda beats his wife! The infant poet! The gluttonous psychopath! Rozália Bartos is an excellent narrator, presenting authorial excesses with just as much authenticity as the events that actually took place. We see Pest at the end of the century, where love bursts in love with the aging poet on the Danube, we see the Tabán of the time, Rozália's family, the charming streets of Vienna, the suffering of a woman looking for work, the impoverished apartments. The recollections of Rozália Bartos are a real treat for readers interested in literature and love stories. Sándor Sultz made the text even more enjoyable for today's readers with his sensitive editorial work.
