«Primavera mortífera» is the romantic novel by Hungarian Lajos Zilahy, published by Editorial Funambulista in paperback (226 pages, in Spanish).
In a letter to a childhood friend, a young provincial aristocrat recounts his drama: the failure of his courtship with Edit von Ralben leads him to gambling and drinking, until another woman, Józsa, offers him a way out. The novel, set in Hungary before World War I, reflects the decline of Central European society.
Originally published in 1922, it was adapted into a movie in 1939 by the author himself. With this novel, Editorial Funambulista inaugurates the Biblioteca Lajos Zilahy.
For readers of romantic fiction with a historical backdrop and for those who want to discover twentieth-century Hungarian narrative.
Lajos Zilahy was a Hungarian novelist and playwright. Born in Nagyszalonta, Austria-Hungary, he studied law at the University of Budapest before serving in the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War, in which he was wounded on the Eastern Front – an experience which later informed his bestselling novel Two Prisoners.
