Can art save us?

You might ask yourself in these weary times we are living in, walking along side conflicts, war and genocide - how can there be space to even think about art?  Well as Picasso would put it: “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth”. Art is a reflection of our ideas, and…

The sorry tale of the Hungarian media

I asked a friend, a well-established writer, how much he earns as an editor at a Hungarian literary magazine. ‘Less than a schoolteacher,’ he answered laconically. Considering that the net salary of a fortyish Hungarian grammar-school teacher is about 850 euros, the worst in the European Union, this means ignominiously little. The attraction of working…

At the turn of the millennium, István Lénárt bought a large area of land at the foot of the Börzsöny, near the village of Szokolya, where for twenty years he built up an organic farm, while also reviving several centuries-old technologies that have been almost completely forgotten, which reduce the ecological footprint of farming to…
