"Beautifully translated by Len Rix...New York Review Books Classics--acting, yet again, in its capacity as the Savior of Lost Greats--has now delivered this version to an American audience. If you've felt that you're reasonably familiar with the literary landscape, 'The Door' will prompt you to reconsider. It's astonishing that this masterpiece should have been essentially unknown to English-language readers for so long...suffice it to say that I've been haunted by this novel. Szabo's lines and images come to my mind unexpectedly, and with them powerful emotions. It has altered the way I understand my own life. [It is] a work of stringent honesty and delicate subtlety." --Claire Messud, The New York Times Book Review
"'The Door' is a deeply strange and equally affecting book, a dark domestic fairy tale about the relationship between a Hungarian writer, Magda, and her taciturn elderly housekeeper, Emerence." --John Williams, The New York Times"'The Door, ' by Magda Szabo, is a Hungarian novel with the elemental force of a myth -- the story of a middle-class writer and the servant who takes over her household and her life. Class dynamics, female friendship, the power of will -- Szabo writes about them all with eerie fascination." --Adam Kirsch, The New York Times Book Review
"Szabó is a master tension builder, and Emerence's demise...is heartbreakingly rendered." --Publishers Weekly
"Subtle, intellectual, and if not exactly unflinching then certainly told with bone-scraping honesty, this is a masterpiece."--Emily Temple, Flavorwire"Szabo is a deft writer. She constructs the narrative around a deeply authentic friendship while leaving unresolved the main idea: How will you conduct yourself in your quest to be an authentic writer, and what are the costs to the people who care for you?" --Diane Mehta, The Rumpus
"No brief summary can do justice to the intelligence and moral complexity of this novel. I picked it up without expectation. I read it with gathering intensity, and a swelling admiration. I finished it, and straightaway started to read it again. It is unusual, original, and utterly compelling." --The Scotsman "A superbly controlled and involving work of art. . . . One of Szabó's triumphs is to have written a profound political novel that is rooted in the domestic." --Liam McIlvanney, London Review of Books"Intimate and satisfying....the tension between Magda and her housekeeper is fascinating, and sometimes sickening as well....the story celebrates love, the kind that is too perfectly made to exist on Earth." --Claire Rudy Foster, Cleaver Magazine

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. One of The New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2015"An NYRB Classics Original The Door is an unsettling exploration of the relationship between two very different women. Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungarys Communist authorities. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive, abrupt, seemingly ageless. She lives alone in a house that no one else may enter, not even her closest relatives. She is Magdas housekeeper and she has taken control over Magdas household, becoming indispensable to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They share a kind of loveat least until Magdas long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation. Len Rixs prizewinning translation of The Door at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer. This translation first published in 2005 by Harvill Secker. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
