Summary

Magda Szabó: Iza's Ballad

Iza's Ballad, a masterpiece from the pen of the classic author of Hungarian literature of the 20th century, Magda Szabó, is a multi-layered, touching, universal story about the intersection of different lives - traditional and modern, urban and rural, young and late; a saga about transience and possible ways to deal with it and, of course, a meditation on love - its diverse faces, mimicry and masks.

Etelka, a pensioner from the provinces, bears the scars of the long twentieth century. She grew up in poverty, survived the disasters of the First World War, and then things improved for her - by marrying the dear judge Vinca - for a while; in a happy marriage, they had a daughter, Iza. However, the judge will soon fall out of political favor, then the nightmares of the Second War will follow, and then, out of nowhere, sudden old age and with it Vinci's death. Iza, meanwhile, a successful, divorced doctor - the embodiment of the new age - moves an old woman into her modern apartment on a Budapest boulevard, in the heart of a city that is itself changing rapidly. And nothing more, in that coloplet of furiously written and at the same time soft, warm contemplative prose, will be like it used to be...
