A la fin des années 1920, au sommet de sa gloire, Dezso Kosztolanyi eut l’idée d’endosser les humbles habits d’un enquêteur pour croquer sur le vif les représentants, le plus souvent anonymes, des métiers les plus divers. Trente-cinq de ces entretiens, de la sage-femme au fossoyeur, sont présents dans ce recueil. Ces Portraits brossent en quelques échanges enjoués une personnalité ; les questions y sont toujours pertinentes, souvent surprenantes, et fouillent dans la vie, les anecdotes, les pensées d’une femme de ménage légère et rieuse, d’un éboueur bourru ou encore d’un imprimeur consciencieux. Capable d’apartés hilarants, Kosztolanyi donne à lire, à travers l’ironie, la tendresse et l’empathie pour les êtres simples qui caractérisent son art, une étude de mœurs vive et fascinante. On y retrouve son amour de la littérature, ses réflexions sur le métier d’écrivain et sa vive attention au langage alliant la clarté française au sens très aigu des ressources de la langue hongroise. Mais ces Portraits permettent surtout à Kosztolanyi de se demander ce que signifie pour ses semblables l’existence elle-même. Son propos lui est suggéré par sa conviction originale que la vie est un miracle pour lequel on se doit de lutter. La façon qu’ont le barbier, la choriste, le photographe ou le diplomate, et bien sûr l’écrivain, de vivre ce miracle, sont des réponses à la question : la vie vaut-elle d’être vécue ? De cette brillante confession inédite en français, que l’on peut considérer comme une trouvaille hors pair du point de vue du genre, on s’en délectera à plus d’un titre.Shipping Notes

Worked when nothing else did, easy, with just a scrubbing pad!
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
I bought a Catalina 1977 sailboat. The hull (freeboard) was extremely oxidized, dull, and had stains and discoloration from the water running off the deck for years; it was streaked. Everything I tried to clean it did little, until a dockmate told me about this. WOW! It WORKED, and it worked very easily. It reminds me of the old "comet" cleanser, that shakes out of a can -- who knows, maybe its the same thing! A little goes a long way, and with very little elbow grease, I was able to attack the discoloration. Great. I also used it to clean my lifelines, which had discolored quite a bit -- and they now look like new. I LOVE this product, but probably won't buy it again for a few more years -- it lasts that long. Can't recommend it enough!

Poli cleaners.
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
Our trailer was extremely oxidized. I used the Poli wash and fiberglass cleaner, super easy. It removed the oxidation and made our trailer look new again. Next I will try the Poli sealer.

Works OK.
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
With a lot of work and diligence (elbow grease), the product works at removing oxidation. I expected it to easily remove the old Poliglow as well. Still lots of work. It will NOT remove the brown water stains from the roof of my molded fiberglass camper. Product is OK, but does not work as easily as advertised.
