Translator Paul Olchváry Has Passed Away
Paul Olchváry was the translator of numerous books including works by György Dragomán, Vilmos Kondor, Sándor Jászberényi, Ádám Bodor, Ferenc Barnás, and very recently József Debreczeni, as well as the proud publisher of New Europe Books, and editor-in-chief of Hungarian Cultural Studies journal. He received translation grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and PEN American Center in the United States. He also won the Milán Füst Prize by the Milán Füst Foundation of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
In an interview with HLO he talked about his path to becoming a literary translator:
"I was raised speaking Hungarian by parents born in Budapest who arrived in the United States as refugees after World War II. For a dozen years my parents sent me to Hungarian scouts in my hometown, Buffalo, New York. Like a few other scouts who to this day are my friends, I somehow failed to become a hardened Hungarian nationalist, but I did at least learn Hungarian. In graduate school, at Indiana University, Bloomington, though I studied creative writing and English literature, I made friends with a group of Hungarian visiting scholars. (This was in the late 1980s, and kudos to George Soros, by the way, for bringing them there.) They persuaded me to move to Hungary in 1990 for a job teaching essay writing to students of English at Janus Pannonius University in Pécs. By that time I’d already translated a bit of Dezső Kosztolányi’s scintillating, early-twentieth century Esti Kornélcollection during a Hungarian literature course at Indiana University taught by the late, great scholar Mihály Szegedy-Maszák. Once in Hungary I sought out Judith Sollosy, at Corvina Press, who gave me some translation projects. I am so grateful to Judy for that. She has done a great deal for Hungarian literature as a translator and publisher and was a fantastic mentor."
One of his last translations is József Debreczeni's diary novel, Cold Crematori The world-famous library of Matthias Corvinus (Mátyás Hunyadi), King of Hungary (1443–1490, reigned: 1458–1490), the first royal library outside Italy and north of the Alps. As for its size, only estimates can be made; it probably included approximately 2,000 volumes. It was the second greatest collection of its era, the first being the Vatican Library. According to currently available research data, of this unique collection approximately 220 volumes survived, currently kept by major libraries across Europe and the United States. (Our website displays 235 items, since included in our register were also the codices, about which it was convincingly proved by Angela Dillon Bussi some years ago that they might be identical with the codices that had been made for King Matthias in Florence, but they had not reached Hungary because of the king’s death, and later they made their way to the library of the Medici family.) Currently, 55 corvinas are kept in Hungary, the majority (37 volumes) in the Hungarian national library (National Széchényi Library). (The so far widely known number, thirty-five was increased by the corvina duplicate to the Thuróczy Chronicle [Inc. 1143b] and by the fragment of Bonfini’s History of Hungary, which was discovered in 1975, and which is treated as a separate item [Cod. Lat. 434., Cod. Lat. 542.].) The collection was founded in the second half of the 15th century in the palace of the King of Hungary. As a reflection of Humanist principles and a representation for a Renaissance ruler, it did have its predecessors and a preparatory phase. The proximity of Italy had played a key role in the development of Hungarian culture, since the establishment of the Hungarian state, and this role intensified when, in the early 14th century, members of the House of Anjou succeeded to the Hungarian throne.
