Tl a falon Az n tvenhatom: A Personal Testament of 1956 /PaperbackUPC: 9789633467206MPN: 9789633467206Brand Name: Holnap KiadOverviewTl a falon Az n tvenhatom (Beyond the Wall: My Fifty-Six) is a profoundly personal and historically significant poetry collection by Ferenc Buda, published in 2006 by Holnap Kiad to mark the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. This 64-page volume is divided into two distinct parts: the first section contains poems written by Buda as a young man barely twenty years old during the tumultuous days of 1956, while the latter poems were written as he approached his seventieth year. The collection serves as both a personal testimony and a poetic chronicle spanning half a centuryfrom the intoxicating days of freedom during the revolution to the crushing sounds of tank treads and iron gates that followed. Buda emphasizes in his introduction that this is neither a diary nor a chronicle, but rather a series of echoes responding to the once-experienced freedom and its brutal suppression, reverberations that continue “until death.” Written without vengeance but with an unwavering commitment to truth, this collection stands as an essential document of one man’s journey through one of Hungary’s most defining historical moments.Product FeaturesFormat: Paperback bookPages: 64 pagesLanguage: Hungarian (Magyar)Dimensions: 117mm x 200mm (4.6″ x 7.9″)ISBN: 9789633467206 / 978-9633467206Publisher: Holnap KiadPublication Year: 2006Publication Location: Budapest, HungaryAuthor: Buda FerencGenre: Historical poetry, Memoir in verse, Political poetryHistorical Period: Hungarian Revolution of 1956Special Features: 50th anniversary commemoration, Two-part structure spanning 50 yearsThemes: Freedom, revolution, survival, truth, historical memoryInteresting FactsThe Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a spontaneous nationwide revolt against the Soviet-imposed policies and communist government, lasting from October 23 to November 10, 1956. It represented a brief but powerful moment of freedom before Soviet tanks crushed the uprising, resulting in thousands of deaths, imprisonments, and refugees. Ferenc Buda lived through these events as a young man of barely twenty, and his immediate poetic responsescaptured in the first half of this collectionprovide authentic contemporary testimony to those historic days. What makes this collection particularly powerful is its dual perspective: the raw, immediate voice of youth experiencing revolution contrasted with the reflective wisdom of a man approaching seventy who has carried these memories for half a century. Buda’s statement that his desire for revengeif he ever harbored such feelingsextinguished the moment he gained freedom speaks to a profound moral maturity. His declaration that he has “no personal accounts to settle with anyone” while still “waiting for the restoration of truth” captures the complex position of survivors who seek historical justice without personal vengeance. The title “Tl a falon” (Beyond the Wall) suggests both physical imprisonment and the metaphorical walls that separate truth from officially sanctioned history. Published in 2006, exactly fifty years after the revolution, this collection serves as both personal catharsis and historical witness, ensuring that the voices of 1956 continue to echo through Hungarian literature and collective memory.Publisher InformationHolnap Kiadis a distinguished Hungarian publishing house based in Budapest, established in 1918.
