Be Faithful Unto Death

Misi, a bright and sensitive boy boarding at a conservative school in the Hungarian city of Debrecen, is falsely accused of stealing a winning lottery ticket. First published in 1921, this novel is a nostalgic portrait of Hungarian provincial life. Be Faithful unto Death is the moving story of a bright and sensitive schoolboy growing up in an old-established boarding school in the city of Debrecen in eastern Hungary. Misi, a dreamer and would-be writer, is falsely accused of stealing a winning lottery ticket. The torments through which he goes – and grows – are superbly described. The novel is brimming with vivid detail from the provincial life that Móricz knew so well and shot through with a sense of the tragic fate of a newly truncated Hungary.
