Öregszem mégis… by Andor Gábor
QR code
"Öregszem mégis…" by Andor Gábor is a collection of essays and personal reflections written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of aging, memory, and the human condition, interwoven with contemporary observations about society, war, and everyday life. Through introspective narrative and satirical commentary, the author meditates on the inner life of individuals amidst the chaos and absurdity of the outside world. The opening of the book presents a contemplative
account from the author, who, despite the passage of years and external changes, finds himself fundamentally unchanged at heart—perceiving life through a child’s unclouded eyes. He revisits his old school, recalling memories and the unchanged sense of youth within himself, contrasted by the mortality of his teachers and the expectations of maturity. Subsequent essays and anecdotal sketches introduce broader commentary on war, human folly, and social rituals (such as life in a café or encounters with a thief), blending personal experience with cultural critique. The initial chapters thus set a tone of wistful irony, highlighting the contrasts between society’s expectations and the individual’s own persistent inner doubts and innocence.
