Zustand: In fine condition. Three non-consecutive typescript leaves, two numbered 97 and 113, extensively revised in the author's hand, with cancellations, substitutions, interlinear and marginal additions, and substantial autograph passages continuing into the lower margins and onto the versos. 3 leaves. Three heavily revised working typescript leaves from Péter Nádas's Parallel Stories, documenting the development of two chapters of one of his principal novels. Three surviving leaves from a working typescript of Péter Nádas's Párhuzamos történetek (Parallel Stories), preserving earlier states of passages later incorporated into the third volume of the novel. The sheets document the text at a stage markedly different from the version published in 2005 and show Nádas revising not only individual formulations but also the structure, sequence, and development of the narrative. Page 97 corresponds to a passage later published in the chapter "Jártam már ebben a házban" ("I've Been in This Building Before"). The narrator, standing in the apartment building associated with his childhood, struggles to understand the passage of time, the disorder of memory, and his jealousy of Klára and Simon. Much of the structure of the finished passage is already present, but the published version is considerably expanded and reworked. The leaf also preserves an earlier form of the heroine's name, "Lónyay Klára," changed in the published novel to "Vay Klára," while "Hetés Simon" becomes the fuller "Hetés Simon József." The sheet is heavily revised, with substantial autograph rewriting replacing portions of the typescript and continuing onto the verso. The unnumbered leaf is headed "Azon a ver?fényes nyári délutánon" ("On That Sunny Summer Afternoon"), an earlier form of the title eventually published as "Ez a ver?fényes nyári délután" ("This Sunny Summer Afternoon"). It preserves an earlier version of the chapter's opening, beginning with the narrator's encounters with Weisz Ilonka on the first-floor landing. The principal elements of the episode are already present: Ilonka's piano lessons, her family's poverty, the servants' staircase, and the grandmother's offer to pay for her lessons. In the published novel these elements are retained but greatly expanded and reorganized, with substantial new passages inserted between material already present in the typescript. Page 113 belongs to a later section of the same chapter and corresponds closely to the published text around III, pp. 383-384. It contains an earlier version of the narrator's imagined reconstruction of his parents' fate, including his father's torture and abandonment in the street and his fantasies concerning his mother's survival and subsequent disappearance. The latter develop into his speculation that the woman he associates with his mother may have been among the victims of the collapse of the Duna Mozi roof, may instead have survived with minor injuries, and eventually may have left the country. Several sentences survive with only minor alteration, while other parts are substantially rewritten or expanded in the published version. Taken together, the three leaves show successive levels of composition particularly clearly. Some sentences pass into the published novel almost unchanged; others are expanded into much longer passages, displaced, or recast; and still others disappear. The autograph revisions themselves frequently form an intermediate textual state between the underlying typescript and the published novel. The leaves thus provide direct evidence of Nádas's method of composition during the development of Párhuzamos történetek, preserving both the typed draft and the author's subsequent rewriting on the same sheets. Péter Nádas (1942-2026) is one of the major figures of postwar Hungarian literature. A novelist, essayist, playwright, and photographer, he established his international reputation with Emlékiratok könyve (1986; A Book of Memories), followed by Párhuzamos történetek (2005; Parallel Stories), the other principal large-scale work of his career. Written over many years and published in three volumes, Parallel Stories interweaves numerous lives and historical periods, moving between private experience and the political and social history of twentieth-century Central Europe. Its complex structure and long period of composition make surviving working material especially informative for tracing the development of the novel. .
