Summary
Tibor Várady: Horse passport assigned to history
In the book Horse passport assigned to history, Tibor Varady brings to life the past that great history has not recorded. With the skill of a great writer and the insight of a lawyer, Varady brings to light the stories of small people, sticking to the facts behind which something much more significant is hidden: the truth about human nature. As another volume of legal "human comedy", this book also combines the tragic and the comic, which, despite the cheerfulness and non-maleficence of the narrator, acquires the dimension of the absurd.

Varadi's essay work is both a praise of human dignity and an authentic example of it. The specialty of his analysis of items from the family archive implies cultivating an ear for the atypical, unusual, affection for the unrepeatability of human destiny, sensitivity to details. In his interpretation, the display is more convincing than a museum exhibit, and the individual destinies it depicts convey a deep humanist message.
Dragan Prole
In the prose-documentary creative play, a continuous dialogue between past and present reality takes place, a kind of aspiration to get to know the past in a different way takes place, on the stage are destinies and stories, the voices of people of past and present times, with all established, but unfinished or sensed definitions and understandings.
