Péter Esterházy on historical continuity in Europe

The Hungarian writer Péter Esterházy sees great differences between Western Europe and the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of their historical development. In an interview with Krzysztof Maslon Esterházy explains that historical development has been much more linear in Western Europe. "In my opinion, interrupting history and starting again is a uniquely Central European phenomenon. We have no institutions which have existed in the same form for centuries on end. There's a pub in London that has enjoyed a royal privilege since the 18th century, which allows it to stay open seven minutes longer than other pubs - just long enough for a last round. This is a great thing. Thanks to a decision made by a monarch a few centuries ago, I can go home a quarter of an hour later... But what impact do the words of King Mathew Corvinus have on Hungarians, or the words of Stefan Batory on Poles? Does anything at all happen in Budapest or Warsaw that has a genuine connection with what happened there a few centuries ago? This is an important difference between the two parts of Europe. We carry within us unfinished tales we can't get rid of; stories we can't read to the end."

Writer Ryszard Kapuscinski has died

The 74-year-old Polish journalist and writer Ryszard Kapuscinski died on Tuesday in Warsaw. Krzysztof Maslon pays tribute to the former Africa correspondent for the Polish news agency PAP. "Although Ryszard Kapuscinski always complained that such activities distracted him from his writing, he enjoyed meeting readers and journalists, holding presentations and taking part in discussions. He stressed that the kind of journalism he did was not a profession for cynics. He showed us a different, unimaginably poor world, which for some consisted of nothing more than a T-shirt, a pot, a bowl and a mouthful of water. However, two-thirds of the world's population live in such a deaf and mute world. He reminded us – we who are always dissatisfied and insatiable – of what is inessential and unimportant."

On the Death of Poet Jan Twardowski

Krzysztof Maslon writes about the great Polish priest and poet Jan Twardowsk, who has died at the age of 90. "Poland's most beloved poet has died. The service which the author of 'Bless our God' has rendered to the Church and Poland and – let it be written in capitals – to poetry itself, can't be overestimated. Anyone who has ever read one of his poems, which were always addressed to a specific person and never to mankind as a whole, knows this. He wrote poetry as if he was constantly amazed that one and the same poem could strike a personal chord with so many different individuals. He himself explained that in a full church one spoke to many people at the same time while taking confession, on the other hand, was something of a completely different, very individual nature. This was the strange coquettishness of a priestly poet."
