A gyerek

Is there a way out of the dust and mud of the Hungarian countryside of the 1970s and 1980s to a bright future? Can the child become a great man, a philosopher, or does the wine jug of his fathers and grandfathers await him too? The novel lets the reader learn what was hidden about him, his fate and the lives that shaped his life and that he shaped in turn. He is a close acquaintance of many, a hero of our time, made of the same stuff as the reader, even when he seems a stranger.
