arguably Hungary's foremost woman novelist. She also wrote dramas, essays, studies, memories and poetry.<br><br>Born in Debrecen, Szabó graduated at the University of Debrecen as a teacher of Latin and of Hungarian. She started working as a teacher in a Calvinist all-girl school in Debrecen and Hódmezővásárhely. Between 1945 and 1949 she was working in the Ministry of Religion and Education. She married the writer and translator Tibor Szobotka in 1947.<br><br>She began her writing career as a poet, publishing her first book Bárány ("Lamb") in 1947, which was followed by Vissza az emberig ("Back to the Human") in 1949. In 1949 she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize, which was - for political reasons - withdrawn from her on the very day it was given. She was dismissed from the Ministry in the same year.<br><br>During the establishment of Stalinist rule from 1949 to 1956, the government did not allow her works to be published. Since her unemployed husband was also stigmatized by the communist regime, she was forced to teach in an elementary school within this period.<br><br>It was during the years of this involuntary silence that she felt the frames of poetry too tight to express her thoughts and turned to prose.[citation needed] Her first novel, Freskó ("Fresco"), written in these years was published in 1958 and achieved overwhelming success among readers. Her most widely read novel Abigél ("Abigail", 1970) is an adventure story about a schoolgirl boarding in eastern Hungary during the war.<br><br>She received several prizes in Hungary and her works have been published in 42 countries. In 2003 she was the winner of the French literary prize Prix Femina Étranger for the best foreign novel.<br><br>Her novel Abigél was popularised through a much-loved television series in 1978. Abigél was also chosen as the sixth most popular novel at the Hungarian version of Big Read. Her three other novels which were in the top 100 are Für Elise, An Old-fashioned Story and The Door.<br><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szabó_Magda" rel='nofollow' target='_new'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szabó_M...</a></div></span></dd><dt>Disambiguation notice</dt><dd>The native Hungarian form of this personal name is Szabó Magda, so the Legal lastname, firstname name is Magda, Szabó.

Though larger world events happen, they are never identified in the narrative itself, and I probably missed some of the nuances I might have picked up on if I were more familiar with Hungarian history. The focus of the novel, though, is how these larger events affected the lives of individuals, particularly the children of the three families: Iren and Blanka Elekes, Balint Temes, and Henriette Held. Their relationships, jealousies, and missteps throughout the years bring them into conflict but ultimately together through their shared experienced on Katalin Street. I could appreciate the story more than enjoy it, and in the end I was a little annoyed with Iren and Balint rather than sympathetic.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_65cb6a75');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_d6a2e6e5" title="3.5 Stars" aria-title="3.5 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="7" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="0" class="ratehalf selected" >½</i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_273670771" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_273670771"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_273670771" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_273670771" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_273670771" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_273670771"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/bell7" target="_top">bell7</a> | <a href="/work/3678236/reviews" data-workid="3678236" data-title="Katalin-Street" class="" >15 other reviews</a> | Oct 22, 2024 | <a href="/review/273670771"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_273361483" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/1011552" data-workid="1011552" data-title="the_door" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1590177711.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1590177711.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1590177711.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/1011552" data-workid="1011552" data-title="the_door" class="" >the_door</a> by <a href="/author/magdaszabo">magda-szabo</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_151f8bc7" >Regret. Failing those we love when they need us most, despite our good intentions, and having to live with it.<br><br>A young writer employs a housekeeper to help her while she focuses on her literary work. A complex relationship develops between them, one that is complicated by their experiences. Emerence is formidable, a person who has faced tragedies and pains of all kinds since childhood and managed to develop a system of values that she carries into her aging years that expresses kindness <u class="showmore_hide">for vulnerable people and animals while at the same time keeping a distance between herself and others, giving small and different versions of herself to the few that she loves. <br><br>In the beginning, mystery enshrouds Emerence, she's been affected by the two world wars as well as the political upheavals in Hungary. At first it is unknown what role she played in the second world war and the narrator speculates about this, thinking the worst because Emerence shuts her door to everyone never admitting anyone into her house. Information trickles into the story slowly and halfway into the story, the truth is revealed. A trust is established between the narrator and Emerence who entrusts her with a task that she thinks will uphold the image she's constructed for those that know her, which the narrator fails to execute.<br><br>Others have already mentioned the symbolism of the door, what and who is kept in, and what and who locked out. I am thankful for the reviews by Cheryl and Tamara for introducing me to this wonderful book; their reviews together with reviews by Teresa, Candi and Kinga shaped my reading experience, and naturally this review as well.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_151f8bc7');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_74d41dfd" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars"
