"The Naked Liar" is a novel by the outstanding Hungarian writer Gyula Kruda, which transports the reader to the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The main character, Nagy, stands out among the caressing streets of Budapest like a blooming flower among gray stone buildings. Charming but carefree Nagy is guided by his own rules of the game, which sometimes bypass him and distance him from reality. This book is a vivid panorama of social life at the end of the 19th century, which impresses with its artistic skill and philosophical depth. "Naked Liar" is not only a story about fiction and adventure, but also an inner search for the soul in a world that shines with the colors of its own chaos.
