About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Imre Madách (1823–1864), translated in a single voice with the Hungarian alongside.

What's here

All nineteen surviving works of Imre Madách in Hungarian chronological order, each with the Hungarian source facing the English and a contextual headnote; plus a glossary of every proper name, a chronology of Madách's life against Hungarian political history, and a full correspondence index for the letters apparatus.

From the Hungarian

Every translation was produced by reading the Hungarian text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Hungarian comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

Start with Az ember tragédiája if you want the masterwork first, or read chronologically from Commodus (1839) to A nőről (1864) to trace the development of Madách's thought; follow any term in the glossary, and use the facing Hungarian to check a line of verse against the original.
