Sandor Marai was one of Hungary's leading writers in the thirties, but his views made him anathema to both Admiral Horthy and the fascists, and later to the post-war Communists. All his books were destroyed and his work banned in perpetuity. He committed suicide in 1989 before he could see the collapse of the Soviet regime. With the rediscovery of his novel Embers, Philip Dodd discusses the life and work of this extraordinary man. Philip Dodd also discusses the philosophers of the Scottish
Enlightenment and talks to Mira Nair about her new film, Monsoon Wedding.
