ÚJ LÁTÓHATÁR Literary and Political Review in Hungarian Editors: Gyula Borbándi, Josef Molnár and Zoltán Sztáray SUMMARY The literary life in Hungary between 1945 and 1948 is the opening topic of this issue of Üj Látóhatár. Readers will find two essays on this subject. The two authors, László Cs. Szabó (London) and Győző Határ (London), themselves protagonists on the literary scene of the period, prove by facts and data the liveliness and vitality of Hungarian literature immediately after the end of World War II. Pál Harmat (Mauer, Austria) analyzes the development and chequered history of psychoanalysis in Hungary. Gyula Schöpflin (London), a former communist, who was Hungarian ambassador in Stockholm in 1950, describes the disappointment of Hungarian communists when they first met the Soviet type Russian communists after 1944. Mihály Sozan (Slippery Rock, PA) gives a sociographical description of a Hungarian village of our days based on his own researches in Hungary. László Luka (Geneva) examines the origin of the practice of self-criticism. George Cushing, professor of Hungarian literature at London University, analyzes the literary oeuvre of author László Cs. Szabó. Üj Látóhatár includes a short story by Géza Perneczky (Cologne) and new poems by Ágnes Mária Csiky (Cologne), Elemér Horváth (Mahopac, N. Y.) and Ágnes Mirtse (Zürich). On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the bombardment of Kassa on 26 June 1941 Julián Borsányi (Munich) poses the question: who in fact did bomb the city. At that time Kassa was part of Hungary. István Borsody (Pittsburgh) examines the role played by Eduard Benes in the transfer of Hungary's ethnic German minority to Germany after World War II. Tibor Dénes (Geneva) reviews the German edition of Kelemen Mikes' letters. Sándor András (Washington) scans — with reference to a study by Lóránt Czigány — Western readers' knowledge of Hungarian literature. Erik Vászolyi (Mount Lawley, Western Australia) reflects on an article by a Hungarian literary historian who regularly writes on Hungarian literature in the West.
