Reseña del editor
There are few figures in literature as riveting as the precocious nine-year-old Magda Denes who narrates this story. Her stubborn self-command and irrepressible awareness of the absurd make her in her mother's eyes "impossibly sarcastic, bigmouthed, insolent, and far too smart" for her own good. When her family goes into hiding from the fascist Arrow-Cross, she is torn from the "castle" of intimacies shared with her adored and adoring older brother and plunged into a world of incomprehensible deprivation, separation, and loss. Her rage, and her ability to feel devastating sorrow and still to insist on life, will reach every reader at the core. Recounting an odyssey through the wreckage and homelessness of postwar Europe, Castles Burning embodies a powerful personality, a stunning gift for prose and storytelling, a remarkable sense of humor, and true emotional wisdom and makes a magnificent contribution to the literature of childhood and war.

SOFTBACK SHIPPED FROM THE UK.* Edition: 1st.* Impression: 1st.Full Number Line.* Date of Publication: 1998* Publisher: Touchstone* Binding and cover condition: Photo-illustrated soft card covers, no bumps or rubs. Absolutely minimal shelf wear to corners, no creases to spine or hinge. FINE* Contents condition: PRIVATE COPY NOT EX-LIBRARY, Clean, crisp, tight & bright. No annotations, marks or inscriptions, no visible faults. Seems very lightly used if at all. No tanning. FINE* Illustrations: One single b/w photo to frontis.* Pages: 384 pp. text.* Product Description:- This steely account of a childhood on the run, first from the Nazis and then as a refugee in post-war Europe, serves as a fitting memorial to the author, who died in December 1996, shortly before the book was published. Magda Denes settled in America and became a psychoanalyst, which may explain her total lack of sentimentality about her youthful self. The fierce emotions of childhood--exacerbated in this case by the danger she faced as a Jew in fascist Hungary--have seldom been better portrayed. This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*. n. Nº de ref. del artículo: 536
