This anthology features translations of foreign poetry by Dezso Kosztolanyi, a prominent figure in early twentieth century Hungarian literature. The language is highly stylized and rhythmic, reflecting the poetic conventions of the era. You will encounter complex sentence structures and a rich, evocative vocabulary that demands careful attention. Because these are translations of classic works, the themes are often melancholic and philosophical. It is a challenging read that requires a solid grasp of Hungarian grammar and a willingness to explore literary nuances.

Questions about this book

What level of Hungarian do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 3 h 43 min at a native pace, spread over 259 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
