Los ensayos que componen esta obra constituyen una aproximación radical a la realidad europea del siglo XX vivida desde muy cerca. Al analizar el Holocausto, el acontecimiento más sangrante de la historia reciente, el autor se basa tanto en la propia experiencia como en décadas de reflexión, y aporta una luz decisiva al cuadro que compone la humanidad contemporánea. Pero en este libro no sólo habla una voz que ha vivido la experiencia, sino también una voz europea enmarcada en un arco geográfico que comparte un patrimonio cultural y espiritual. Kerstész habla de su propio país, Hungría, sobre su capital, sobre el concepto de patria en general y sobre algunas de las figuras más importantes de la literatura húngara, tales show more como Márai, Radnóti o Krúdy. show less

He translated the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Elias Canetti into Hungarian. He wrote several novels that drew largely from his experience as a teenage prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. His novels included Fateless, Fiasco, Kaddish for a Child Not Born, Someone Else, The K File, Europe's Depressing Heritage, and Liquidation. He also wrote the screenplay for the film version of Fateless in 2005. While his work was ignored by both the communist authorities and the public in Hungary where awareness of the Holocaust remained negligible, his work was recognized in other parts of the world.
