The boys know they will very soon be sent to join their  elders, and in their final weeks of freedom they begin acting out their frustrations  and fears in a series of subversive games and petty thefts. But when they attract  the attention of a stranger in town—an actor with a traveling theater company—their  games, and their lives, begin to move in a direction they could not have predicted  and cannot control, and one that reveals them to be strangers to one another. Resisting  and defying adulthood, they find themselves still subject to its baffling power even  in their attempted rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eSandor Marai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1900, and died in San Diego, California, in 1989. He rose to fame as one of the leading literary novelists in Hungary in the 1930s. Profoundly antifascist, he survived World War II, but persecution by the Communists drove him from the country in 1948. He went into exile, first in Italy, then in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45444628644001,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780375707414","price":17.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780375707414.jpg?v=1764210647","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-rebels-paperback-by-sandor-marai-translated-by-george-szirtes","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
