A classic read with devotion by successive generations of Hungarians, The Boys of P StreethasL, published in 1907, had until now gone more or less unnoticed by the French-speaking readership. It was only available in collections intended for young people and in a translation that did not do it justice. Let us therefore salute the excellent initiative of Editions Tristram, and the merit of the translator Sophie Képès, in proposing a new one, capable of restoring the richness of this text and all the flavor of the speech of the streets of Pest. Its author, Ferenc Molnár, was born in 1878 in Budapest into a Jewish bourgeois family. He went into exile in 1937 to flee Nazi persecution and, after passing through Geneva, to reach the United States where he was a recognized playwright and adapted for cinema.
