摘要:I was born in a small town called Kassa (Košice), which today belongs to eastern Slovakia. I usually say that I come from a middle-class family – that of a railway clerk. It was fortunate for me as people with middle-class background considered learning essential. In 1955 we moved to Sárospatak, a town with a high-level gymnasium. I was lucky to attend it. The school had been established 400 years ago and it was well-known all over Hungary. It was one of the best gymnasiums in the country. At the time I attended it, it could boast many teachers from the old staff. In addition to good teachers, the school in Sárospatak had an excellent library. I took to it from the very beginning. I liked the smell of the books there.
