[ book tip by ] Besides being a historical novel and a saga of a family, Kommunista Monte Cristo (Communist Monte Cristo), published in 2006, is an artistic interpretation of the history of communist idea in Hungary based on elaborate research.

The core is the life story of a vegetarian butcher committed to communism with real historical figures in supporting roles. This extremely satirical, humorous, linguistically innovative work is written from the ironical double perspective of fabrication and truth, fiction and reality.

Its unique aesthetic quality and its style devoid of trends make it a masterpiece.
