ÜJ LÁTÓHATÁR Literary and Political Review Editors Gyula Borbándl, Jórsel Molnár SUMMARY In this issue of Üj Látóhatár Lóránt Czigány (London) reviews the recently published „Shorter Explanatory Dictionary of the Hungarian Language" and, in connection with it, he details some linguistic questions of topical interest. Next we printed a study by Endre Zsindely on the exile of János Batsányi, a Hungarian peot of distinction in the age of enlightenment, based on the contributor's own research in Switzerland. János Batsányi, persecuted by the House of Habsburg, lived most of his life in exile in several West European countries. In this issue the reader may find new poems by György Gömöri (Cambridge) and Géza Thinsz (Stockholm) as well as a short story by Dezső Monoszlóy (Vienna). In the „Document" section Endre Szirmai (Stuttgart) discloses some interesting parts from the correspondence between his father, Károly Szirmai, a Hungarian writer in Yugoslavia, and the Hungarianborn Cleveland professor, József Reményi. These letters have considerable values because of their concern with the Hungarian literature outside Hungary. The „Document" section also contains the second part of Gyula Borbándi's latest collection from western reports on Hungarian writer Miklós Haraszti's trial in Budapest. In the „Observer" section László Cs. Szabó (London) writes about Byron on the occasion of a publication of Byron's letters in England. Imre Szente (Jyväskylä, Finland) reviews a memorial album on Petőfi, published in Sweden. Dezső Monoszlóy (Vienna) deals with a fiction by Péter Müller, published in Budapest, in which the central figure was modelled after a famous actor, deceased years ago. Tibor Dénes (Geneva) deals with the newest work of Ottó Tolnai, a Hungarian poet in Yugoslavia, and with a study on two avant-gardists by Hungarian literary historian Imre Bori in Yugoslavia. Tibor Hanák (Vienna) reviews the literary studies of Zsuzsa Beney, recently published in Hungary. Imre Kovács (New York) writes about the new books of the Hungarian­­born American linguist Ádám Makkai. Imre Szente discusses two essays by László Cs. Szabó on the poet Sándor Petőfi. Finally Pál Albert (Paris) reports on „Le Déserteur et autres récits", a new collection of short­­stories of the famous French novelist Jean Giono.
