Key item features
Mediante extensos monólogos de los personajes, Márai vuelve una vez más a sumergirse en el vacío y la soledad del alma humana, confrontándola con una sociedad que se moderniza y toma un rumbo incómodo para las clases burguesas europeas.
El último expediente llegado al escritorio de Kristóf Kömives, juez en la Budapest de entreguerras, es el divorcio de los Greiner. Un caso más, excepto que el nombre de soltera de la mujer, Anna Fazekas, hace perder al magistrado su inmutable serenidad. El alegre desparpajo de la juventud, un paseo por el lago, una mirada arrebatadora: la evocación de aquellos instantes fugaces basta para perturbar, tantos años después, el sosiego de su intachable vida burguesa. Y cuando el señor Greiner se presenta en su casa con la noticia de la muerte de su mujer, Kristóf no puede contener el aluvión de sentimientos encontrados que inundan su espíritu.
Durante el transcurso de una noche, Kristóf asumirá el doble papel de acusado y testigo de la confesión de Greiner, que al desgranar la historia de su matrimonio evidenciará el abismo que separa a los dos hombres: por un lado, el burgués que renunció a la emoción de lo desconocido para perpetuar los sólidos valores de una clase social asentada y autocomplaciente, y por otro, el joven advenedizo que, por conquistar a una mujer que le estaba vedada, se entregó a una existencia erigida sobre la impostura y encorsetada en unos cánones ajenos a su persona.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Through extensive monologues by his characters, Sandor Marai once again plunges into the emptiness and loneliness of the human soul, confronting it with an increasingly modernizing society which makes European bourgeois classes face an uncomfortable path.
The latest file to reach the desk of Kristof Komives, a judge in the interwar Budapest, is the Greiner divorce. This would be just another case, except for the woman's maiden name, Anna Fazekas, makes the judge lose his immutable serenity. The joyous self-confidence being young, a walk by the lake, a captivating gaze: the recollection of those fleeting moments is enough to disturb the tranquility of his unblemished bourgeois life so many years later. And when Mr. Greiner shows up at his house with the news of his wife's death, Kristof cannot contain the barrage of mixed feelings that overcome him.
During the course of one night, Kristof will assume both the role of the accused and the witness to Greiner's confession, which, by unraveling the history of their marriage, will reveal the abyss that separates the two men: on one hand, the bourgeois who resigned from any emotions of the unknown to preserve the solid values of a stable and self-indulgent social class, and on the other, the young newcomer who, to conquer a forbidden love, gave himself up to a life erected on a façade and strictly confined in standards that were alien to him.
