L 'author of the novel is Ferenc Molnár, aka Ferenc Neumann, born in Budapest January 12, 1878 and died in New York April 2, 1952.
He lived several years of his life in the Hungarian capital and it is there that in fact the novel. The same author has written other books in Hungarian as the city is hungry, diary of a war correspondent, the Green Knight, Comrades-in-exile. It 's the first I read to Molnar, but I would like to read more because it explains life at the time of the early twentieth century.
The book is part of the kind of 'adventure, I'm passionate about a lot.
The book recounts the adventures of some guys in a modest family who gathered in a group, the boys in Via Paal, exactly. The most important are: Young Boka, and their president Ernesto Nemesceck a soldier. The name comes from their home: a field in the Hungarian capital in two ways, via Paal and Via Santa Maria, where there is a steam sawmill, a key site of the story. The enemies of the protagonists are another group of boys from a wealthy family, who want to win their field in order to play ball, red shirt. The most important is their leader, Franco A'ts.
After some adventures, The private company, Ernesto, manages to sneak into their base, but is discovered and forced to take a bath that will provide a high fever.
During the final battle between the two groups of boys have the better off Paal, manque head of the enemy tries to free the prisoners, is stopped by the soldier that, despite the 'very high fever, has decided to fight for their country.
The next morning, in the various efforts and fever, the small Nemesceck die without even knowing that the field for which he fought would have resulted in households.
The facts are narrated in chronological order, but it is very understandable if you have a limited vocabulary. The
narrator, however, is omniscient and knows everything about everything and everyone. The story is told in third person. It 's a very good choice, because at first would not have made the suspense.
The story takes place in Budapest at the beginning of the twentieth century. This much is clear from the school, and various buildings and clothes that are described.
L 'author uses a language understandable to all ages, writes with long and short periods, is expressed in many dialogues with many thoughts and descriptions: I think it's a very good style.
The book tackles the theme of 'friendship and the struggle for their ideals.
The book I really liked, and made me reflect on the problem that children are often not heard.
However, it gave me new insights into the life of the twentieth century.
should be read to all those who enjoy the 'adventure and ancient literature.
