Albert László from page images generously made available by the Hungarian Electronic Library "Élet, halál" by Ernő Szép is a literary collection written in the early 20th century. This work, blending prose and poetry, immerses the reader in the experiences and emotions surrounding life during wartime, particularly focusing on the perspective of Hungarians. The book explores themes of national identity, suffering, hope, love, and the tension between life and death, all set against the somber backdrop of war. Rather than following a single protagonist, it presents a mosaic of voices, reflections, and brief stories, painting a collective portrait of a nation under the strain of conflict. The opening of "Élet, halál" moves through a series of lyrical prayers, vivid wartime observations, and poignant personal stories and sketches. It begins with a heartfelt prayer asking for divine protection for the Hungarian people, followed by expressive meditations on the war, the pain and camaraderie of soldiers, and the longing for peace. Szép alternates between prose and poetry, weaving together fragments of battlefield memories, the everyday heroism and suffering of civilians and soldiers, and the subtle beauty of ordinary moments—such as the story of an old woman donating handmade pillows or delicate ruminations on a sigh or a smile. The tone is alternatingly elegiac, observant, tender, and quietly ironic, giving readers immediate access to the emotional core of a society shaped by war.
