The release of the volume A bilincs a szabadság legyen (‘Let the Shackles Be the Freedom’), a collection of the correspondence between Miklós Mészöly and Alaine Polcz, generated a significant level of interest in the writers’ private lives and literary work that, it is no exaggeration to say, continues to this day. Apart from the strong emotional bonds shared by several literary couples we could mention, it is perhaps the letters of these two authors that reveals the most thought-provoking ideas.

At every stage in his career, Nikolas Takács has consistently delivered an exciting combination of unique musical inspiration and independent artistic exploration. Born into a musical family in Galanta (now Slovakia) in 1986, he won his first talent contest at the age of ten. This was followed by formal music training and a long succession of solo concerts. His style, which fearlessly blends jazz, soul and pop, firmly positions him as one of the most multifaceted performers in Hungarian popular music today.
