Sinopsis

The novel is set in Budapest in the winter of 1944-45, and asásuch it is related to the history of Hungary, and of the SecondáWorld War. Extreme circumstances changed the behavior ofámany who lived through them, so that their actions were laterádescribed - or rather obscured - by terms such as 'terrible,'á'incomprehensible,' 'inexplicable,' and other similarly strongáadjectives.The Arrow Cross seek out individuals not only of Jewish descent,áanyone they view as liberals, 'English sympathizers' or 'humanists,' are considered enemies and therefore prey.áOne such man is the novelâÇÖs main character, the thirty-year-oldáfactory owner, Renner. In addition to employing and concealingámany Jews in his factory, both his wife and lover areáof Jewish descent. He is a successful, fearless man: the ArrowáCross have plenty of reasons to kill him. But instead of a swiftáexecution, they torture and humiliate him even longer thanáusual, subsequently forcing him to assist them. The noveláfocuses on Renner, station to station. Readers follow eventsáthrough his progressively hazier point-of-view, in addition,áthe combined voice of the Arrow Cross also speaks by way ofáthe barbarian horde reincarnated in the modern big city.
