***
A rare edition of the novel Maruszjá by Mária Blaskó, a Hungarian teacher and writer, published in 1926 in Budapest. The novel was inspired by the 1925 jubilee year. It depicts a “modern” Roman pilgrimage and delves into the profound reflection of life’s journey. The main character, Maruszjá, a mysterious Russian beauty with a captivating voice, gains questionable fame as a chansonette in Venice. The story revolves around Kende Márta, a young Catholic writer searching for spiritual balance amidst her literary and social endeavors. The novel explores themes of repentance, the value of atonement, and the complexities of religiousness. The author skillfully weaves beautiful thoughts into a loosely structured narrative, with vibrant characters representing societal types.
