BIOGRAPHIES

KÁLMAN JANICS (YAW-nich), the Hungarian author, is a physician and a sociologist. Born in 1912, he is one of the few Hungarians of the older generation with a higher education who survived in his homeland, the post-war Czechoslovak policy of population expulsion of the national minorities. Well known at home and abroad as a Hungarian writer on minority problems, Dr. Janics has been a target of denunciation and harassment in Slovakia. Since 1970, he was unable to publish in his homeland. From the summer of 1978 to March 1981, he was barred from practicing his medical profession.

GYULA ILLYÉS (DYU-la EE-yea-sh; middle syllable rhymes with "yea and nay"), author of the introductory essay, is an internationally known Hungarian poet and writer. Born in 1902, he is the grand old man of contemporary Hungarian literature. Although recipient of several official prizes, the Hungarian Communist authorities have suppressed his recently published book of essays because of his outspoken views on the Hungarian minorities.

STEPHEN BORSODY (BOR-sho-dee), author of the English Version, is a historian and publicist. Born in 1911, he was a Hungarian journalist and diplomat before becoming an American college professor, now retired. Among his books, The Triumph of Tyranny (London, 1960), retitled in the American edition as The Tragedy of Central Europe (New York, 1962), has recently been reissued by the Yale Concilium on International and Area Studies. It deals with subjects closely related to Dr. Janics' book.
