Új Látóhatár, 1980 (31. évfolyam, 1-4. szám)
1980 / 1. szám
SUMMARY From the present issue onwards, Üj Látóhatár will appear four instead of six times a year. The yearly total number of pages will, however, remain unchanged. In this number we salute Sándor Márai the celebrated writer on his 80th birthday. Márai lives in Salerno (Italy). István J. Román (Vienna) attempts to define his place in contemporary Hungarian literature. István Bibó, the prominent Hungarian legal writer and historian died a year ago. In his essay „István Bibó the European" János Tóth (Geneva) surveys Bibo's works published in various European languages. One of these, dealing with the paralysis of international organizations, which appeared in London a few years ago is subject of close examination by the reviewer. Bálint Balassi, a Hungarian poet from the 16th century is the central figure of János Szanyi's (Montreal) play: „Balassi concerto". We print one act from the play. Gyula Borbándi's contribution focuses on Hungarian literature in America. The author deals with the most important literary institutions and ventures. This issue of Üj Látóhatár contains new poems by András Hautzinger (Aurora, III.), Elemér Horváth (New York), Tamás Hunyor (Johannesburg), Lajos Komendák (Vienna) and Lajos Major-Zala (Fribourg). Zoltán Sztáray (San Bernardino, CA) discusses two noteworthy historical documents: the political and military treaties conluded between Romania and the Entente Powers during World War I. We publish the full text of both treaties in Hungarian translation. In the „Observer" column István Borsody (Pittsburgh) reviews Imre Kovács' new book „The occupation of Hungary". László Cs. Szabó (London) reflects on the recent Post-impressionist exhibition in the Royal Academy, London. New collections of poems by Elemér Horváth, István Készéi, Géza Thinsz and György Vitéz, as well as a collection of essays by Tibor Dénes, a philosophico-political treatise „Intra muros" by Győző Határ, and finally novels by Tamás Kabdebó and András Domahidy are reviewed by Tibor Dénes (Geneva), György Ferdinandy (Puerto Rico), Mihály Ferdinandy (Puerto Rico), Péter Halász (Munich), and László Ribánszky (Munich). György Vitéz (Montreal) comments on some Hungarian views about Hungarian literature in the West.
