ÚJ LÁTÓHATÁR Literary and Political Review Edited by: Gábor Bikich, Gyula Borbándi, József Molnár January=February 1963 One of the leaders of the 1956 Hungarian revolution was General Pál Maiéter, who was sentenced to death and executed together with Imre Nagy in the summer of 1958. Péter Gosztonyi (Zürich) presents a profile of Pál Maiéter upon having conducted profound and extensive research work, and particularly analyzes his role during the revolution. The author holds that from the moment on when Maiéter had realized the justness of the revolution he wholeheartedly sided with the revolution aries. His ideal was a free, independent and socialist Hungary, and his opinion that its realization was inconceivable without the withdrawal of Soviet troops. In the belletristic part of the periodical the reader will find the new poems by György Vitéz, a young poet now living in Canada, short sto= ries by Mátyás Sárközi (London) and Mária Esterházy (WesUGermany). The work by Mátyás Sárközi is titled "Saturday Afternoon", that by Má= ria Esterházy "The Child". Üj Látóhatár commences with the publication of the play titled "Orsolya" by Miklós Domahidy. Another work by the author, who now lives in Switzerland, the novel titled "The Chipped Cup" has recently been published in the German language. In subject play he relates a sto= ry which takes place in a Hungarian small town during the 16th century. In this our issue we publish the first three acts of the play. The fourth and fifth act will appear in the next issue of Üj Látóhatár. In "Observer" Viktor Marj ás (Paris) writes about the 1962 novelties on the French bookmarket. The author sets forth that during the past year several interesting works had been published, although he adds that French novelists deserve more literary credit than their works published last year. In conclusion Gyula Borbándi reviews a more than 6oo=page volume published by the West German Desch Publishing House; it contains short stories or selections from novels by more than 60 young prose* writers from .39 European countries. The book titled "Young Europe" does not only give evidence of the high standards of contemporary short=story lit= erature, but also reflects the mentality and feelings of the young genera* tion of European writers. The volume contains also works by four young Hungarian writers: three of them living in Hungary, and one in the West.
