Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungary’s 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 Magda’s housekeeper and she has taken control over Magda’s household, becoming indispensable to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They share a kind of love—at least until Magda’s long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLen Rix’s prizewinning translation of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Door\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e288 pages, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.98 x 0.62 x 7.98 inches, \u003c\/span\u003epaperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46141047865569,"sku":"9781590177716","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9558\/8015\/files\/Screenshot2025-02-06at8.20.22PM.png?v=1738891228","url":"https:\/\/pressshopatl.shop\/products\/the-door-magda-szabo","provider":"Pressshopatl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
