Portraits of a Marriage 

by

Sándor MáraiPortraits of a Marriage (2011)
A novel by Sándor Márai

 
A masterwork from the famed Hungarian novelist Sándor Márai, Portraits of a Marriage is in fact a portrait of a triangle - three passionate, single-minded lovers fighting over the marriage at the center, each of them bearing the capacity to love irrationally to an irreparable degree.

A wealthy couple in bourgeois society, Peter and Ilona appear to enjoy a fine union. But each of them loves someone or something different. For Ilona, it is Peter. For Peter, it is their child but also the servant, Judit. And for Judit, it is her very future. The result is a vortex of love, sacrifice, and self-preservation from which there is no escape.

Set against the backdrop of Hungary between the wars, Portraits of a Marriage offers further 'posthumous evidence of [Márai's] neglected brilliance' (Chicago Tribune).
