Paris dans l'imaginaire des poètes hongrois

Abstract

At the beginning of the last century, Hungarian artists, including painters, photographers and writers, went on a pilgrimage to Paris, and were seduced by the very special atmosphere of the City of Light, definitely a place to see, and to be seen. This paper scrutinizes various texts, correspondences as well as autobiographies of some of the leading Hungarian writers (Endre Ady, Dezs? Kosztolányi, András Hevesi, Miklós Radnóti and Attila József ) to reveal how and how much they loved Paris.
