The worlds of gods and men are separated by a vast chasm. This was an idea that fascinated Goethe, Wagner and Hölderlin. The latter was particularly pessimistic about man’s role: to him, fate was nothing more than ceaseless drifting, a blind struggle. Brahms encountered Hölderlin’s poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion’s Song of Fate) in his mid thirties, immediately recognising the potential ...

It acts beneficially on tissue and organs, not only assisting with maintenance but also repair.

Data of the latest censuses have helped us draw the present demographic map of the Carpathian Basin.

A left-wing commentator welcomes a statement by the leaders of the Jewish religious communities who are threatening to withdraw from the state commemorations to mark the 70th anniversary of the Holocaust, unless the government changes its approach to history and stops implicitly whitewashing Hungarian wartime collaborators.
