Format:MP3 CDCountry:HungaryReleased: 2008″The gentleman from a good family, Elemr Tbory, would have everything to be happy, if only – to quote the poet – he would not have bad dreams. In Elemr’s dream, he sees himself as the discarded, humiliated, tormented apprentice of a malicious, lowly industrialist; not being able to get rid of this vision (or compulsive idea), he doubles himself in his acute anxiety and essentially ends up in an emergency situation of personality breakdown.” Levente Elemr Gyngysi, wanting to get rid of the worst side of his personality, tries to persuade his valet-self to commit suicide. But this is how Elemr Tbory must also die. Babits borrowed the title of the novel from a story of the same name in the Thousand and One Nights. According to this, a caliph (religious leader) turns himself into a stork out of mere curiosity. However, as a freshman, he cannot recall the magic spell necessary to change back; but luckily a friend helps him.In this novel by Babits, written in 1913, fantastical and biographical elements are mixed, but the contrast between city and country life, travel and urban lifestyle is also shown.Read by: Zsolt Lszl.Release: June 2008A j hzbl val rifinak, Tbory Elemrnek mindene meglenne a boldogsghoz, csak hogy a kltt idzzem ne volnnak rossz lmai.
