In 'Letters to Eva Haldimann,' Imre Kertész, the renowned Hungarian author and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, offers us an intimate look at his life and work through his correspondence with Eva Haldimann. Over more than twenty years, between 1977 and 2002, Kertész and Haldimann maintained an epistolary exchange in which they discussed the writer's work, his difficulties, his departure from the Writers' Association, and the vicissitudes he faced until reaching worldwide recognition. This book is a wonderful legacy that lies between autobiography and essay, allowing us to understand the life and intellectual trajectory of one of the most important authors of contemporary European literature.
Imre Kertész was a Hungarian author and recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature. His works deal with themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship, and personal freedom.
