Miklós Radnóti Biography

Miklós Radnóti was a Hungarian poet whose work is profoundly shaped by his Jewish heritage and his tragic fate during the Holocaust. His poetry masterfully blends avant-garde and expressionist themes with a neoclassical style, exemplified in his eclogues, alongside notable romantic love poetry. Despite societal rejection due to his origins, he strongly identified with Hungary in his verse. His final poems, penned during a death march, stand as some of the few literary works from the Holocaust era to have survived.
