Szerb Antal : A Martian's Guide to Budapest
- description
- additional information
"Szerb Antal 1935-ben találkozott a Marslakóval, aki a Bristolban szállt meg, s miután lekefélte ruhájáról a csillagok porát, telefonált az írónak, hogy megbeszélésük értelmében nézzenek körül együtt Budapesten. Az író gondos házigazdaként végigkalauzolta vendégét a városon, de hogy mit is láttak, azt eddig csak az útikalauzból sejthettük. Az új kiadást a Fortepan online fotóarchívumból válogatott képekkel illusztráltuk, hogy bepillanthassunk Szerb Antal Budapestjébe.
One fine day a Martian turned up in Budapest, took a room in the Bristol Hotel, brushed the stardust from his suit and telephoned to inquire if I might show him round the town.
Who is this Martian, this unknown traveller who appeared out of the blue in Budapest in 1935? The writer of this legendary book? Or could he be the modern reader of our present day?
Most of the places mentioned can still be visited, and this little guide accompanied with old photographs can help evoke the people and the history of this beautiful city. A Martian's Guide to Budapest is a "whimsical and gently ironical love letter to the city".
