$Day of Hungarian Poetry - L\u0151rinc Szab\u00f3 meets Jacques Brel \u2013 An Evening of Poetry and Music$

Step into the world of one of Hungary’s greatest 20th-century poets, Lőrinc Szabó. Renowned for his poetic mastery, Lőrinc Szabó transformed his personal and often dark views of the world into verses of remarkable delicacy and kindness. Early recognition by Gyula Babits, along with his collaboration with Árpád Tóth in translating the works of Baudelaire, helped establish Szabó as one of Hungary’s most influential poets, bringing European literary giants into the Hungarian literary landscape.
