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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLen Rix's prizewinning translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Door\u003c\/i\u003e at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Szabo, Magda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Magda Szabo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39825577410635,"sku":"9781590177716","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_998d7217-2fac-4b17-9f0a-311b1bf51ff5.jpg?v=1660219635","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-door-9781590177716","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
