Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Contemporary Hungarian Poetry is a direct continuation of the seven hundred-year old tradition that was so admirably presented by Professor Adam Makkai and his associates in Volume 1 of this unique collection. Whereas Hungary's poets of old were following the Miracle Stag's westward flight, it is no exaggeration to say that contemporary Hungarian poets have found their place in World Literature. Hungarian poetry's contemporaneity reflects lasting values, whether a poet still uses rhymes as do György Faludy and sometimes Győző Határ, or writes free verse without punctuation, as is the custom in the West. Makkai's lucid, challenging introduction and the concise biographies before each author's work continue the remarkable tradition begun in Volume 1. This volume, together with the second revised edition of Volume 1, belongs in the collection of every lover of poetry, comparatist, poet and translator, who wishes to see the world's best minds seek the common language of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity on Earth.
