«Kornél Esti. Un héroe de su tiempo» is the novel by Hungarian writer Dezsö Kosztolányi, published by Bruguera in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
An established writer, settled into bourgeois life, evokes Kornél Esti, a friend from his youth and an irreverent bohemian for whom life matters more than literature. Between the two, a pact is made: one lives, the other turns that life into stories. The tales depict literary creation and the human condition with irony and a grotesque tone.
The translation from Hungarian is by Mária Szijj; the original title is «Esti Kornél». The edition appeared on February 21, 2007 in Bruguera's Narrativa collection.
For readers of Hungarian literature and twentieth-century classic fiction.
