Speaker: Translator Nguyễn Hồng Nhung

Once again, we will meet translator Nguyễn Hồng Nhung, who has always been passionate about bringing the spirit of Hungarian culture to Vietnamese readers.

And this time, we will meet her again to talk about the works of Hamvas Béla and Szerb Antal. They represent two fascinating aspects of Hungarian literature. One sought a unified spiritual ideal of humanity from East to West, searching for the story of human life. The other was a writer of the fragile depths of the human soul, existing and reflected among architecture and scenes gradually fading away. And even in the face of the historical fate of the 20th century, what they both continued to seek may have been hope for the days ahead.

Entering a new literature is also entering other lives, and sometimes even simple pages of writing can give us more choices to continue.
