About This Book

A series of vivid, memoir-like sketches evokes life in Budapest across changing decades, mixing personal reminiscence, local color and short tales. The narrator recalls neighborhoods, shopfronts, cafés and promenades, portraits of characters and social customs, and sensory details—odors, fashions, music—and contrasts the slow, old-city rhythms with the arrival of youth, modern pastimes and technological novelties. Scenes shift between intimate interiors and bustling streets, interweaving nostalgia for vanished figures and buildings with observations on urban renewal, social manners and the city’s evolving moods.
