The Ninth: A Novel: Writings From An Unbound Europe
Autor Ferenc Barnas Traducere de Paul Olchvaryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2009
Set in a sleepy village north of Budapest in 1968, this touching, unsettling novel paints a richly wrought portrait of mid-twentieth-century Hungary. The narrator is the ninth child of a family distinguished by its size, poverty, faith, and abundance of physical and psychological disabilities. His confusion is exacerbated by the strict, secretive Catholic household his parents keep in the face of a Communist system. These dual oppressions propel him toward an inevitable realization of his guilt and desire that speaks to his struggle with a fateful, seamless beauty.

Recenzii
"The Ninth is a masterpiece . . . It is an elegant book and a ruthless one." —Peter Esterhazy
"This coming-of-age novel leaves the reader guessing about the protagonist’s future, while marveling at youth’s resilience. The Ninth is Barnas’ ironic “Ode to Joy.”" —World Literature in Review
