This book contains the complete poems in Hungarian and in English translation of Hungary's great modern poet, Miklos Radnoti, murdered at the age of 35 during the Holocaust. His earliest poems, the six books published during his lifetime, and the poems published posthumously after World War II are included. There is a foreword by Győző Ferencz, one of Hungary's foremost experts on Radnoti's poems, and accompanying essays by the author on dominant themes and recurring images, as well as the relevance of Radnoti's work to Holocaust literature.
Miklss Radnsti (1909-1944), Hungary's classicist-avantgarde poet, was also a prolific translator and editor who wrote some of his greatest poems in the labor camps and copper mines of Yugoslavia before being killed by the Nazis at an early age.

This collection of the proceedings of the Radnsti Memorial Conference explores such topics as neo-classicism and avant-garde in Radnsti's work, Radnsti and the Bible, and his relationship to modern writers and the ancients.
