''Embers'' is a 1942 novel by the Hungarian writer Sándor Márai. Its original Hungarian title is ''A gyertyák csonkig égnek'', which means "Candles burn until the end". The narrative revolves around an elderly general who invites an old friend from military school for dinner; the friend had disappeared mysteriously for 41 years, and the dinner begins to resemble a trial where the friend is prosecuted for his character traits. The book was published in English in 2000. ==Reception== Anna Shapiro reviewed the book for ''The Observer'' in 2002, and wrote: "Elegiac, sombre, musical, and gripping, Embers is a brilliant disquisition on friendship, one of the most ambitious in literature." Shapiro continued: "About a milieu and values that were already dying before the outbreak of World War II, it has the grandeur and sharpness of Jean Renoir's 1937 movie masterpiece ''La Grande Illusion'', with which it shares, in both oblique and pronounced ways, some of its substance."
