Mészöly Miklós és Veres Péter levelezéséből
From the correspondence of Miklós Mészöly and Péter Veres

Summary/Abstract: Péter Veres (1897-1970), Hungarian writer, determining personality of the circle of “the peasant writers”. He fed on the agrarian-socialist ideas of the beginning of the century, his autobiographically inspired novels and sociographies show the lives of the poor peasantry. He was a politician, the chairman of the National Peasant Party, in 1947-48 the minister of Defence. He took notice of Mészöly in 1964, who was starting his career then. Their correspondence that turned up in 2002 is a real literary-historical curiosity, since the dialogue of the two writers so different in their manners as well as their intellectual backgrounds carries an importance not only in the field of literature but also in that of the history of ideas.
