Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from Memories of My Exile
An indescribable rush of feeling overwhelmed me, when the surrender at Vilagos rendered me homeless.
No words can adequately express my feelings.
Before I stepped across the frontier I lay down on the soil of my native land; I pressed upon it a sobbing kiss of filial love: - I took a handful of earth; one step, and I was like the hull of a wrecked ship, thrown up by the storm on a desert shore. A Turkish staff officer greeted me courteously in the name of "Allah." He led me to a place which he had kindly caused to be prepared for me to rest for the night under God's free heaven, and - asked for my sword with downcast eyes, as if ashamed that a Turk should disarm a Hungarian.
I unbuckled it and gave it to him without uttering a word; my eyes filled with tears, and he, wishing me sound rest, left me alone with my sorrow.
Rest to the homeless!
