4172 Two Prisoners, by Lajos Zilahy (read 8 June 2006) This book by a famed (in Hungary) Hungarian novelist was published in English translation first in 1931. It begins in Budapest in 1913, where Miette and Peter meet, fall in love, marry, and World War I breaks out. Peter goes to war, is captured and sent to Siberia.

Citaĵo
„ Fama romano de konata verkisto kiu ricevis literaturan premion en 1936.
La verkinto intencis per ekzemplo de senmorala atistokratulo bildigi la dekadencon de la hungara burĝa klaso post la unua mondmilito. Li ne tute sukcesis. La dekadenco estis tie sed kredeble la heroo ne estus pli morala aŭ malpli egoista homo se li estus malriĉulo.
La tradukinto honoris sian taskon. ”
