Title: Review
Review: 'The Traveler' was an amazing story about Mihaly, an adventerous and brilliant man who was searching for something missing in his life. The story begins with Mihaly and his wife Erzsi on their honeymoon in Italy. Mihaly reminiscences and tells Erzsi, who believes her husband is extremely mysterious and strange, about his childhood. Throughout his adolescence, Mihaly is confused about his infatuation with his best friend, Tamas, and homosexuality comes into question along with death and a second birth.During his stay in Ravenna, he is found by an old friend, Janos Szepetneki. This unexpected run in with Janos somewhat inspires him to leave his wife, unintentionally, and goes on a journey where he runs into old friends and manages to transform his psyche. This novel is complete with love, passion, bewilderment, adventure, heartache, and secrecy. And, above all, a graceful acceptance of common-day reality. I give it five stars.
