János Pilinszky
Died in 1981
János Pilinszky was born in Budapest on 27 November 1921. He began studying law, then studied literature and art history without taking a degree. Called up at the end of 1944, he followed the German retreat with his unit; at Harbach and elsewhere, he saw the camps, which marked all his work. Co-editor of the journal Újhold from 1946 to 1948, he could publish nothing from 1951 to 1956, then worked at the Catholic weekly Új Ember. Ted Hughes translated him into English; he died in Budapest on 27 May 1981.
