The book of fathers

Innen einwandfrei, Ecken minimal angestoßen, Schnitt oben etwas dunkler, Nichtraucherhaushalt

A superb family saga that draws the reader effortlessly through nearly three centuries of turbulent history. I’m this sprawling chronicle of the Csillag family, celebrated Hungarian author Vamos depicts the lives of twelve generations of men, each firstborn son, and in the process offers a whimsical 400-year history of his native country. The book is shot through with ideas about music, nationality, astrology, Judaism and a troublesome relationship with time.
