"Báró Podmaniczky Pál és a norvég Biblia" by Ilona Kutas is a multilingual short story and personal narrative that was likely written in the late 20th century. The book reflects on the author's experiences with language, drawing parallels between their exploration of a bilingual Bible and their familial roots, specifically focusing on the legacy of her grandfather, a theological professor fluent in eighteen languages. The narrative weaves together themes of language, culture, and personal growth through its exploration of the significance of a Bible found during a trip to Norway. In the story, Kutas recounts her emotional journey as she encounters a bilingual Bible in her hotel room in Oslo, which rekindles her childhood memories and connection to her grandfather. As she reads and engages with the text, she finds herself grappling with a moral dilemma when the desire to keep the Bible leads her to consider the act of theft. Through this internal conflict, she reflects on her faith, upbringing, and the importance of her grandfather's teachings. Ultimately, the book serves as a celebration of friendship and cultural exchange, culminating in Kutas’ desire to translate her short story into multiple languages to strengthen those connections. The narrative showcases not just a love for languages but also the bonds that tie people together across different cultures and backgrounds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
