Unavailable for over twenty years, Agota Kristof's modern European classic The Notebook is re-issued by CBe alongside the first English translation of The Illiterate, Kristof's memoir of how she escaped from Hungary in 1956 and began to write The Notebook. Sent to a remote village for the duration of the war, two children devise physical and mental exercises to render themselves invulnerable to pain and sentiment.
