Description
The paper looks at the Hungarian translations of Cohen's poems and two novels, with references to the main features of the translations and to critical responses. For Hungarian audiences, Cohen is far better known as a singer of his own songs than as a writer of poetry and fiction.
L'article parle de la traduction des poésies et de deux romans de Leonard Cohen tout en se référant aux caractéristiques principales des traductions et des réponses critiques. Le public hongrois connaît Cohen plutôt comme chanteur de ses propres chansons, moins comme écrivain et poète.
