Jenő Dsida (1907–1938) lived a tragically short life overshadowed by World War I and chronic illness. He nearly faded to obscurity, but today has a cult-like following in Hungary, perhaps due to his playfully inventive use of language, devout spirituality, and the universal themes of struggle and hope that radiate from his poetic compositions. This volume contains a selection of Dsida’s poems, presented side by side, in English literary translation and in the original Hungarian. Recommended for students and teachers of English, as well as for aficionados of Hungarian culture everywhere!
