Plot summary
Andras Vayda grows up in a Hungary at war, where he finds local girls for the occupying soldiers. Girls his own age leave him disappointed. He meets Maya, a married woman in her thirties, who tutors him in love and romance. She is the first of the many older women he will know through his teenage and young adult years. In middle age, a philosophy professor, he looks back on four such relationships. Each differed because of the woman, his own maturity at that point, and the politics of the place where he lived.
