  • Harmony of Babel Harmony of Babel Profiles of Famous Polyglots of Europe
    In the late 1980s the distinguished interpreter Kató Lomb researched historical and contemporary lomb polyglots in an effort to understand their linguistic feats. Among her fellow polyglots she asked: “When can we say we know a language?” “Which is the most important language skill: grammar, vocabulary, or good pronunciation?” harmony “What method did you use to learn languages?” “Has it ever happened to you that you started learning a language, but could not cope with it?” of “What connection do you see between age and babel language learning?” “Are there ‘easy’ and ‘difficult,’ ‘rich’ and ‘poor,’ ‘beautiful’ and ‘less beautiful’ languages?” :Europe Polyglots of Famous of Profiles “What is multilingualism good for?” The answers Lomb collected from her interlocutors are singular and often profound. Grounded in real-world experience, they will be of interest to linguaphiles who are seeking to supplement their theoretical knowledge of language learning. kató lomb (1909–2003) was called “possibly HARMONY the most accomplished polyglot in the world” by linguist Stephen Krashen. One of the pioneers of simultaneous interpreting, Lomb worked in 16 languages in her native Hungary and abroad. She wrote several books on language and language of BABEL learning in the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Alexander Lenard's Self-Translated Autobiography
    Lénárt-Cheng, Helga. “A Multilingual Monologue: Alexander Lenard’s Self-Translated Autobiography in Three Languages.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 7 (2014): http://ahea.pitt.edu DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2014.3 A Multilingual Monologue: Alexander Lenard’s Self-Translated Autobiography in Three Languages Helga Lénárt-Cheng Abstract: The paper investigates the question of self-translation in the work of Alexander Lenard (Lénárd Sándor). Lenard, a polyglot writer and translator, rewrote his autobiography three times, in three different languages (in German, English, and Hungarian). This process of self-translation created a fascinating web of autobiographical texts, which invite a multiscopic reading. Following in the footsteps of 18th century parodists, Lenard challenges a great number of protocols associated with life-writing. The most important among these is the authority of the proper name as a guarantee of autobiographical authenticity. To challenge the authority of the proper name Lenard purposely multiplies his own authorial identities, for example by claiming that “A. L. is only a pseudonym.” Thus, the word ‘self-plagiarism’ acquires in Lenard’s case a double meaning, implying both that the author plagiarizes his own text and that he plagiarizes his own self. The paper explains why existing theories of self-translation cannot be applied to Lenard’s texts, and why his unique case can enrich future studies of this topic. Keywords: Alexander Lenard, Lénárd Sándor, Self-Translation, Autobiography, Proper Names Biography: Helga Lénárt-Cheng studied French and German at JATE and ELTE in Hungary, and she received her PhD in Comparative Literature from Harvard University.

Lénárd Sándor: Világok Vándora ['Alexander Lenard: Wanderer of Worlds']. Budapest: L’Harmattan. 180 pp. Illus. Reviewed by András Kiséry,* The City College of New York (CUNY) Lénárd Sándor: Világok Vándora is the first book written on Sándor Lénárd, or Alexander Lenard (1910-1972), a fascinating polymath and polyglot best known for his translation of A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh into Latin, but the three volumes of life-writing he published in the last decade of his career clearly deserve critical attention, as well. The two authors have both written about Lenard before. Zsuzsa Vajdovics has not only translated some of Lenard’s works from Hungarian into Italian and from Italian into Hungarian, she has also been active in helping to bring Lenard’s papers to Hungarian archives and in organizing a Lenard Seminar, and later a Lenard Society, in Budapest. Her co-authored book with Helga Lénárt-Cheng draws on their previously published work (e.g., in this journal's vol. 7, 2014, Lénárt-Cheng's article: https://ahea.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ahea/article/view/3), but this is a more inclusive monograph that aims to encompass Lenard's entire oeuvre and provide a starting point for further scholarship on his work.

  • The Valley of the Latin Bear
    The Valley of the Latin Bear by ALEXANDER LENARD with pen-and-ink sketches by the author Foreword by Robert Graves E. P. DUTTON & CO., INC. NEW YORK - 1965 Characters and events portrayed in this book represent a cross-section of people and happenings I have known throughout my life in Brazil and elsewhere, up to a few years ago. As reflections of my cumulative experiences, they are, I hope, accurate in essence. For obvious reasons, however, most names of living people and most place names used in the book are fictitious. 2 FOREWORD by Robert Graves Alexander Lenard is Hungarian by birth and, like most educated Hungarians of his generation, a polyglot; writes a very lucid, unaffected English, speaks it without any discernible accent. He has a well-knit body, a quiet laugh, an iron-gray curly beard, and two dedicated professions: medicine and poetry. Though a perpetually displaced person ever since the close of the First World War - when his family got swept homeless up and down the Balkans - he managed during a brief lull, from 1928 to 1932, to take his medical degree at Vienna. Soon afterward, diagnosing the imminence of a Second World War, he fled to Rome and there lay low until the storm had broken and passed. He writes of that period: One thing I knew: ...the dictators enslave their victims with chains of paper. I inscribed my name on no list and in no registry of tenants, took my expired passport to no consulate, and if I ate very little bread, I ate it without a bread-ration card...
