( ) Apenas unos meses antes del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuatro jóvenes acaban sus estudios y se enfrentan al último verano de la adolescencia. En cuestión de semanas serán llamados a filas y enviados al frente, un frente del cual sólo llegan noticias nefastas. Así, unidos por su aversión a lo que promete ofrecerles la madurez, Tibor, Ábel, Erno y Béla crean un universo particular y juegan a desafiar todas las reglas: beben y fuman en exceso, juegan a las cartas, se inventan extravagantes historias, cometen pequeños hurtos... Ante la ausencia de padres, tíos y hermanos mayores, realizan su propio aprendizaje de la vida libres del control familiar, hasta que la aparición de un improvisado mentor, un avieso actor que está de paso en la ciudad, hará que sus juegos, y sus vidas, se precipiten por caminos insospechados que los llevarán hacia un dramático desenlace. Well written, well translated novel about a group of Hungarian boys about the graduate from high school and be sent off to war. The boys are at an awkward stage of their lives, mostly boys, but occassionally forced to act like adults. I found this book to be a cross between Donna Tartt's The Secret History, with a little bit of Catcher in the Rye. If you liked The Secret History, I think you would like this. I did not like either. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Embers . . . Casanova in Bolzano . . . and now The Rebels: the third of the rediscovered novels of the great Hungarian writer—the jolting story of a troubled group of young men on the cusp of life, and death, in World War I.It is the summer of 1918. As graduation approaches at a boys’ academy in provincial Hungary, the senior class finds itself in a ghost town. Fathers, uncles, older brothers—all have been called to the front. Surrounded only by old men, mothers, aunts, and sisters, the boys are keenly aware that graduation will propel them into the army and imminently toward likely death on the battlefield. In the final weeks of the academic year, four of these young men—and the war-wounded older brother of one of them—are drawn tightly together, sensing in one another a mutual alienation from their bleak, death-mapped future. Soon they are acting out their frustrations and fears in a series of increasingly serious, strange, and subversive games and petty thefts. But when they attract the attention of a stranger in town—an actor with a traveling theater company—their games, and their lives, begin to move in a direction they could not have predicted and cannot control.
