Ottó FenyvesiThe Prisoners of Liberty

....Ottó Fenyvesi's book is a summation of the experiences of the past, as human existence hovers between the disappearance of the trace and its preservation. The essential experience of existence is passed down through the generations. The knowledge and experience acquired must be passed on from generation to generation, and it is therefore one of man's main tasks to maintain the continuity of memory. By talking about the old, we are perpetuating the vanished. According to the ancient Greeks forgetting (léthé) is a basic human condition. We forget the less important things, but the important things remain in our memory. A central question of human existence is: "What must we not forget?"

Ottó Fenyvesi's memory is usually about the past, but it is directed towards the future."
