The New Year's Eve "Twelve" - Szilveszteri "tizenkettő"
Pilinszky János, born in 1921, was drafted into the Hungarian army in 1944, and with his unit was sent to follow the German army as it withdrew to Germany. He was captured, and was in various prisoner of war camps. He saw several concentration camps, an indelible experience reflected in many of his poems. Pilinszky's writings, described as juxtaposing his Roman Catholic faith with intellectual disenchantment, greatly influenced post-World War II Hungarian poetry. This essay is perhaps a good example of his style. He received numerous literary prizes, and died in 1981. See the full story...
