«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 the First World War, reflects the decline of Central European society.
Originally published in 1922, it was adapted into film 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.
