Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic,  public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungary’s  Communist authorities. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive,  abrupt, seemingly ageless. She lives alone in a house that no one else  may enter, not even her closest relatives. She is Magda’s housekeeper  and she has taken control over Magda’s household, becoming indispensable  to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They  share a kind of love—at least until Magda’s long-sought success as a  writer leads to a devastating revelation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLen Rix’s prizewinning translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Door\u003c\/i\u003e at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171935371504,"sku":"9781590178010","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590178010_p0.jpg?v=1763810070","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590178010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
