Polgár Anikó - Poszeidón gyöngyszakálla

"Not only the process of sailing, swimming, and getting through can be adventurous, but also the search for a place after returning home, the ways of acceptance, reception, and the various manifestations of being treated as a guest or acquaintance. And documenting their arrival is also an adventure: the dynamics of the change of place can also be experienced by observing the encounters between ancient myth and the contemporary present in texts."Anikó Polgár (1975), Hungarian poet, translator, literary historian, Comenius University in Bratislava His book primarily traces the movements of texts and, through them, cultural transfers. The book's chapters are organized into four thematic units. The first unit flashes one moment of the Renaissance and Baroque antique image. The second unit discusses problems in the history of translation from the Age of Enlightenment to the present day, and the third and fourth examine the mythical elements of 20th-century poetry and prose, on the one hand, in relation to the issue of cultural memory and travel, and on the other hand, the work of Sándor Weöres.
