Girl of the Danube demonstrates the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. It is the true story of an orphan growing up during the turbulent 1940s and 1950s in Budapest, Hungary. She bore witness to the Nazi and Communist eras, her own life filled with twists and turns. A new family gave her hope, but outside was a world of deception, hardship, and tragedy. Would freedom ever prevail ...?

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII A trip down the Danube--Scene on board the steamer--Fromontor and the cave-dwellers--Turkish, Bulgarian, and Servian ladies-- Vingt-et-un on deck--Montenegrins--The breaking up of the ice-- The Gibraltar of Europe--Semlin--The first cataract--The Castle of the Nine Towers--St. George's Cave and the furin infernalis--Eoman ruins--A moral shower-bath--The Iron-Gate Pass--Eoumanian officials--Beggars--Water mills and buoys on the Danube--Turnu Severin--Orsova and Trajan's Column--Is it a Bevolution?-- Market-day--Costumes--A Boumanian village--Fairy-land. One of the most delightful episodes of the delightful six months spent that year in Budapest was a trip down the Danube to Orsova. It was a fine spring morning of the balmiest description when I -stepped aboard one of the express steamers belonging to the Danube Steam Navigation Company, and set off, under the shadow of the rocky Gellerthegy, towering up to a height of 300 feet above the river. The decks were crowded with passengers--fair-haired Germans, swarthy Bosnians, peach-complexioned Magyars, haughty Austrians, graceful Dalmatians, silent, white-veiled, or red-fezed Turks, and Boumanians of every degree, from the tall, effeminate-looking dweller in Bucharest to the sallow, uncivilised shepherd from the Wallachian Mountains. There were also Jews of various nationalities, some quite clean and spruce in appearance, others disgustingly the reverse; and of course the ubiquitous gipsy was present. The first-class accommodation is excellent and most reasonable in price; the second class consists merely of permission to lie, or squat, on the bare deck of the 'fo'cas'le, ' and is patronised only by the army of the 'great unwashed, ' who usually outnumber the first-class.

Opening with the ominous scene of one young school girl whispering an urgent account of Nazi horror to another over birthday cake, Ozsváth’s extraordinary and chilling memoir tells the story of her childhood in Hungary, living under the threat of the Holocaust. The setting is the summer of 1944 in Budapest during the time of the German occupation, when the Jews were confined to ghettos but not transported to Auschwitz in boxcars, as were the Hungarian Jewry living in the countryside. Provided with food and support by their former nanny, Erzsi, Ozsváth’s family stays in a ghetto house where a group of children play theater, tell stories to one another, invent games to pass time, and wait for liberation. In the fall of that year, however, things take a turn for the worse. Rounded up under horrific circumstances, and shot on the banks of the Danube by the thousands, the Jews of Budapest are threatened with immediate destruction. Ozsváth and her family survive because of Erzsi’s courage and humanity. Cheating the watching eyes of the munderers, she brings them food and runs with them from house to house under heavy bombardment in the streets. As a scholar, critic, and translator, Ozsváth has written extensively about Holocaust literature and the Holocaust in Hungary. Now, for the first time, she records her own history in this clear-eyed, moving account. When the Danube Ran Red combines an exceptional grounding in Hungarian history with the pathos of a survivor, and the eloquence of a poet to present a truly singular work.

In The Glance of Countess Hahn-Hahn (down the Danube), Peter Esterhazy blends magic realism and travel narrative to dazzling effect. Esterhazy's hero is a professional Traveller, commissioned -- like Marco Polo by Kubla Khan -- to undertake a voyage of discovery and to prepare a travelogue about the Danube. Communicating his experiences through terse -- and at times surreal -- telegrams to his employer, the Traveller weaves a rich tapestry of narratives, evoking the dreamlike past and the precarious present of a disappearing world. Moving from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, Esterhazy takes the reader on a fascinating European journey of the imagination, down the Danube River, through Vienna, Budapest, and beyond the delta where the mighty river empties into the sea. Filled with allusion, fable, fantasy, history, and autobiography, The Glance of Countess Hahn-Hahn (down the Danube) is Peter Esterhazy at his scintillating, adventurous best.
