MIKLOS RADNOTI (1909-1944) was a Jewish poet of Hungarian origin who fell victim to Hitler's "final solution". His last works, recording the victims' view of the storm almost to the end, transcend the limits of race and tribe and have made him a beloved national figure. The Seventh Eclogue and A La Recherche ... were among the finest of his poems found in a notebook on his body exhumed from a mass grave . Both are to be included in a volume of Radnoti's war poems in English translation which is now under preparation.
