Descriere magazin:
Publishing during the 100th Anniversary of the First World War An NYRB Classics Original The budding young Hungarian artist B la Zombory-Moldov n was on holiday when the First World War broke out in July 1914. Called up by the army, he soon found himself hundreds of miles away, advancing on Russian lines and facing relentless rifle and artillery fire. Badly wounded, he returned to normal life, which now struck him as unspeakably strange. He had witnessed, he realized, the end of a way of life, of a whole world. Published here for the first time in any language, this extraordinary reminiscence is a powerful addition to the literature of the war that defined the shape of the twentieth century. About the Author: B la Zombory-Moldov n (1885-1967) was born in Munk cs (now Mukachevo), in what was then the Kingdom of Hungary, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, he established himself as a painter, illustrator, and graphic artist. Wounded in action in 1914 as a junior officer on the eastern front, he served the rest of the First World War in non-combatant duties. He was a successful painter, especially of portraits, during the interwar years, and was the principal of the Budapest School of Applied Arts from 1935 until his dismissal by the Communist regime in 1946. Out of official favor and artistic fashion in the postwar years, he devoted himself to the quiet landscapes in oils and watercolor that are his finest work. The writing of his recently discovered memoirs probably also dates from those years of seclusion. Peter Zombory-Moldovan has co-translated Arthur Schnitzler\'s Reigen and is working on a new version of Bertolt Brecht\'s Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches for the English stage. A grandson of B la Zombory-Moldov n, he lives in London.
