Description
The Flower Show and the Toth FamilyThe Flower Show and The Toth Family, two novellas in one volume by Istv n rk ny (1912 79), introduce to an English speaking audience a Hungarian writer with a keen sense of the absurdities of modern life. In the '60s and '70s, rk ny's vein of black comedy earned him the epithet "master of the grotesque" for the popular dramatizations of these and other novels. The Flower Show (1977) is rk ny's last novel and his most widely translated work of fiction.
The Flower Show and The Toth Family, two novellas in one volume by Istv n rk ny (1912-79), introduce to an English-speaking audience a Hungarian writer with a keen sense of the absurdities of modern life. In the '60s and '70s, rk ny's vein of black comedy earned him the epithet "master of the grotesque" for the popular dramatizations of these and other novels. The Flower Show (1977) is rk ny's last novel and his most widely translated work of fiction. With consummate irony, the author exploits our universal unease in the face of death, the desire to "star" taken to its ultimate absurdity by playing the lead in one's own demise, and the voyeurism of the modern media. In The Toth Family (1967) a mad army major on leave terrorizes a village fireman and his family, forcing them to cut and fold endless quantities of cardboard packing boxes every night until dawn. Originally written as a film script, the novel's scenes flicker past in lunatic array as rk ny satirizes Hungary of the early '40s and the acquiescence of a quasi-feudal, nationalistic, caste-ridden society to the authoritarian state of Nazi Germany. The impression is as if the Marx Brothers had been born out of Dr. Strangelove.Binding Type: Paperback

THIS STUFF WORKS
I’ve been bed ridden w some type of facial/sinus infection for months on and off, and when I tell you this was the ONLY thing that helped w my intense headache pain, IT REALLY WORKED ! Best thing I’ve ever used tbh, and I’m always trying natural things for pain relief. (I hate pills but sometimes nothing else works for my chronic migraines) but this stuff is amazing. and it smells so good ! I’d totally buy again, and I’ve always recommended it to two other ppl, and they loved how it worked as well !

Not a nasal spray put in temples
This is NOT a typical Nose Spray. I did a search for nose spray. I read the description. I read the reviews. It arrived quickly. I sprayed into my nose. For 10 minutes this stronger than vicks Nasal Spray burned my sinus, throat and eyes. But no congestion the rest of the day. Bought some for a friend. Good thing he read the box. PUT on temples.

No more sniffles
I used the spray today. Usually I blow my now all day and night 24/7. But today it’s been 3 hours and I haven’t needed to blow except for 2 times and then it was practically nothing. I recommend this product to everyone.
