Négy hét az élet

The novel is about a provincial town and a community that has disappeared. Its hero, Sanyi, recalls his childhood there: the town's oddballs and its respectable, slightly dotty gentlemen, his dreamy aunts in love, and the great walnut tree under which his family used to eat lunch. People had dreams then, though perhaps in reality they mostly drank, some made strange careers, and the Communists haunted everything like ghosts. Now the house has been demolished and the walnut tree is gone.
