Sándor Weöres

Sándor Weöres was born in Szombathely on 22 June 1913 and grew up in the neighbouring village of Csönge. He published his first verses as a teenager, studied at Pécs law, then geography and history, and finally philosophy, and in 1939 defended a thesis on the birth of the poem. In 1937 he travelled as far as the Philippines, Indochina and India. He then worked in libraries, translated Shakespeare, Eliot and the Tao Te Ching, wrote poems for children, and died in Budapest on 22 January 1989.
