Title: ...ThE TraVeLer...
Review: "The Traveler", written by Antal Szerb, is a novel which displays the characters in the story traveling throughout their past to discover their true identity. The newlywed couple, Mihaly and Erzsi, comes across a separation on the day of their honeymoon when Mihaly takes the opposing train from his wife. Mihaly never seemed to overlook his childhood with his friends, Tamas and Eva, who all had an obsession with the desire of suicide. Tamas and Mihaly loved the fact that they were both Eva's victims in their childhood games. Just the idea of death was an arousing tool that filled them with extreme curiosity. Mihaly seems to continue with this infatuation of death until he is faced with a time that he is going to die and becomes terrified of it. Not only does this book deal with the thought of death eroticism, but it also deals with the idea of androgyny throughout the novel. Personally, I would highly recommend this book to anyone and rate it with five stars.
