Description
Introduction by George Szirtes
"Radnoti is still regarded as one of Hungary's leading twentieth-century poets... in a tiny concealed notebook, he wrote his last and finest poems... This notebook is reproduced in facsimile at the beginning of the present edition and adds tremendous poignancy to Francis R. Jones's new translation." Translation Review
