| 520 | _a"An Outlaw's Diary: The Commune" by Cécile Tormay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles personal experiences during the Hungarian Soviet Republic, focusing on the social and political upheavals following the First World War. Its main topic is the swift and dramatic transformation of Hungary into a Soviet Republic under Béla Kun, told from the perspective of an upper-class Hungarian woman facing persecution and exile. Through firsthand observation, Tormay provides a vivid depiction of fear, uncertainty, and the collapse of her social order. The opening of the book immediately plunges the reader into the tense and tumultuous atmosphere of Budapest during the night of the Communist coup in March, as chaos erupts in the streets and the protagonist faces imminent danger. The narrator, together with her family, navigates fear, confusion, and hurried preparations for escape as Bolshevik forces take control. The subsequent days describe the swift imposition of Communist rule, the spread of propaganda, personal separation from loved ones, and a desperate flight from the city. Through diary entries, Tormay conveys the emotional impact of revolution—loss, anxiety, and the search for hope—while observing ordinary and aristocratic life disrupted by new authorities, confiscations, propaganda, and violence. This beginning establishes an atmosphere of uncertainty, sorrow, and adaptation, promising a detailed and personal exploration of survival under a regime change.
