The complete diary 1970-1973

The huge enterprise of Helikon Publishing House publishes the complete diary of Sándor Márai. In the present volume, which is the fifteenth in a row, it is a calendar of personal-spiritual events for the four years of the Salerno period. The period under discussion is not only a literary journey, but also a chronicle of real wanderings from the United States to almost every country in Western Europe, while behind the local histories of the records emerge the events of world politics, the chronology of the Cold War. Red China was admitted to the United Nations, while National China was expelled from the organization. Television shows as National China representatives leave the Chamber in a goose after the vote. Fourteen million people are loyal allies of the social, political, moral principles of the Western world, who have been in the organization with the West for 22 years and are otherwise excluded from the alliance, thrown to Red China as Hungary in Yalta and then in 56. Like But the list is endless. The United Nations now has 131 member states, most of which have smaller populations than Formosa. They voted. And NATO states, including Italy, have voted to exclude Formosa. Everything is possible. The United Nations has a charter that states that only a state that recognizes and respects human rights, the principle of national self-determination, can be a member of the organization. The principle of moral solidarity between peoples has been thrown into the trash. The Zululu battalions remained, who, after the announcement of the vote, began to clap and bounce in national costumes. This volume of Mary's diary also confirms the parallels between the writer's life and the fate of Odysseus, which has become clear before: a search without finding a real home.
