The article is an attempt to answer the question to what extent the 20th-century Hungarian writer Sándor Márai, who accurately assessed the political situation in post-war Europe, viewing it from a distance as an emigrant, was interested in Poland, whether he knew Polish literature, what knowledge he had of the freedom aspirations of Poles, and whether he noticed affinity of the fate of the Hungarian and the Polish notion. Given the author's scarce journal entries devoted to these themes, I conclude that, despite the terseness of these observations, they are insightful and accurate. Seeing the collapse of Europe, which was emulating negative American models, Márai views in- difference to Poland’s fate resulting from the selfish policy of the great powers, comparing the situation of Poles in 1981 to that of Hungarians in October 1956.

The article examines the autobiographical prose of Agota Kristof, a francophone writer of Hun- garian descent. A thorough reading of The Illiterate, an autobiographical book written in 2004, provides a starting point for reflections on the problem of choosing a language when living in exile. Decisions like this are vital for the identity of artists and writers and can be variously motivated. The article describes the path taken by Kristof and the way she refers to it, while the eponymous metaphor of an illiterate person refers the reader to the paradox of losing and regaining speech through a new language. The analysis of her works here is confronted with the perspective of Polish emigration writers (Konstanty A. Jeleński and Gustaw Herling-Grudziński), which creates a unique dialogue of exiles seeking the best means of expression for their own longings and desires.
