Full description

The recipient, poet and literary translator István Siklós, emigrated to England in 1956. He studied at the Department of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, later working with the BBC’s international broadcasts, where he became director of Hungarian-language programming in 1980. In 1964, together with Lóránt Czigány and Zoltán Szabó, he founded the Szepsi Csombor Literary Circle, an “independent cultural forum where Hungarian scholars and writers visiting London could meet their colleagues living in the West” (Hitel, 1991/21). Siklós was also among the first to translate Pilinszky into English.
Pilinszky travelled in Western Europe for six months in 1967, visiting England for the first time between July 30 and August 13.
Letter. Written from Paris after his London stay, addressed to Siklós and his wife Marietta. Pilinszky thanks them for “the friendly love with which you surrounded me during my stay in London. With these two weeks, the world has become more spacious and homely for me, and my memories have been enriched with an important milestone.” Not included in the collected letters. Published in Új Forrás, November 2021.
2 written pages. Handwritten envelope enclosed. Postmark: Paris, August 14, 1967.
Letter. Preparing for his second trip to London. Not included in the collected letters.
2 written pages. Handwritten envelope enclosed. Dated: Budapest, January 21, 1969.
Letter. Reports on his experiences at the second poets’ meeting in London (July 10–13), in which he participated. Not included in the collected letters.
2 written pages. Handwritten envelope enclosed. Postmark: Budapest, July 22, 1969.
Letter. Writes about the circumstances surrounding the creation of his volume Szálkák (Splinters). Not included in the collected letters.
1 written page. Handwritten envelope enclosed. Dated: Paris, January 18, 1972.
With:
Jutta Scherrer (1942– ), poet, Pilinszky’s partner. Autograph letter in English to István Siklós.
In it, she writes at length about Pilinszky, his manuscripts, and his then-ongoing autobiography.
2 written pages. Handwritten envelope enclosed. Dated: Paris, October 4, 1972.
