Summary/Abstract: At the recent Marosvásárhely International Book Fair, Miklós Csapody introduced his new book, A történet fénye. It is a new book, but it carries with it several decades of history, and reflects the author’s interest in Transylvanian Hungarian literature – in a broader sense, the entire Transylvanian Hungarian life. The origins of this interest can be traced back to the mid-1970s, to a time when the “dual attachment – dual responsibility” program adopted by the Hungarian Writers’ Association encountered vehement rejection – orchestrated by higher directives – in the Romanian press, and when those who embarked – not only on a spiritual adventure, but also in reality – towards Transylvania began to be treated as dangerous elements by the state security apparatus.
