Ulica mačka ribara

Jolán Földes

The novel tells about the difficult life of a working-class family of Hungarian emigrants in Paris after the First World War. In 1936, he won the All Nations Prize for a novel by Pinter Publishing Ltd (London). Rarely offered with cover.

The action of the novel Fisherman's Cat Street takes place in the narrowest street in Paris (Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche) where Hungarian immigrants live. Although at first it seems like a typical story about a small community, the novel explores deep themes such as identity, social injustice and family dynamics.

The novel follows the life of Julie, who tries to break free from tradition and patriarchal frameworks, and at the same time has to face the emotional and social obstacles that arise in her family environment. Her path to freedom is not easy. Conflicts with her mother and her father's despair break through the emotional and psychological layers of the main character.

The novel Ulica Mačka Ribara is a poignant and deeply emotional depiction of family, social and psychological problems, as well as the internal conflict between tradition and modernism. Through the life of the main character Julie, the author explores the individual's striving for freedom and independence, while facing emotional and social pressures. Ulica Macka Ribara is not only a story about one family, but also a story about universal themes such as social isolation, love, tradition and the struggle for identity.
