I felt this way even before I knew that he had been a student of S\u00e1ndor T\u00f6r\u00f6k, that he had taught him how to think about the world, how to find ways of knowing, that he had published an interesting volume of translations in Chicago in 1987 by Michael Alexander. The book dedicated to the memory of S\u00e1ndor T\u00f6r\u00f6k is unique in that its author, Michael Alexander, never existed, the book was written down by \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai, and is actually based on the teachings of S\u00e1ndor T\u00f6r\u00f6k. These teachings led the later renowned linguist, translator and poet Rudolf Steiner and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to his life&#8217;s work and to the idea that there could be one primordial poem, one poem from which all others could be derived.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai&#8217;s most outrageous attempt is related to this: he collected various translations of Goethe&#8217;s poem Wanderers Nachtlied (The Wanderer&#8217;s Night Song) &#8211; several in Hungarian: S\u00e1ndor We\u00f6res, Dezs\u0151 Kosztol\u00e1nyi, L\u0151rinc Szab\u00f3, Zsigmond M\u00f3ricz, but also texts by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Lermontov and others &#8211; and translated them back into the original language from each language. This resulted in a two hundred and fifty page book, Cantio Nocturna Peregrini Aviumque, which presents the same poem in different forms. In one of our conversations, \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai said that this was his most important job.<\/p>\n<p>I also feel it appropriate to emphasise this now, because when \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai is mentioned, the significance of his life&#8217;s work is often obscured by the exciting family novel into which he was born: the child of J\u00e1nos Makkai, Member of Parliament, and R\u00f3zsa Ign\u00e1cz, writer and actress, has been given a special fate, one that is full of stories to tell, and the lives of his parents and grandparents are also worthy of a novel, just like his own. \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai received a child paralysis in the summer of 1945, but God took special care of him and he survived. &#8220;While the other kids were playing football, I was reading Dante&#8217;s Inferno in Babits&#8217; translation&#8221; &#8211; that&#8217;s how he used to sum up his childhood.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ea53db7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ea53db7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae0c3f3\" data-id=\"ae0c3f3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ad57c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ad57c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-682x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6489\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-1000x1502.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/magyarpenclub.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/makkai-adam-mn-scaled-scaled.jpg 1364w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Makkai \u00c1d\u00e1m (Fot\u00f3: Mirk\u00f3 Istv\u00e1n, Magyar Nemzet)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc63d61 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc63d61\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ba24159\" data-id=\"ba24159\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbacf7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbacf7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 1956, during the &#8220;free week&#8221;, he wrote two newspaper articles which, although they were not published, could have got him several years in prison, and so, like many others, he left the country. Following his father, who had emigrated earlier, he went to America, first to work in a hotel kitchen, and after a month he was accepted at Harvard. After graduating, he taught at a high school in Hawaii, then continued his studies at Yale, and later taught at universities in Kuala Lumpur and several in the US. From 1969 to 2004, he was an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois, but has also taught in Singapore and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>He became a renowned professor of linguistics, founded a linguists&#8217; association, a journal called Forum Linguisticum and a publishing house called Atlantis-Centaur. His doctoral dissertation, Idiom Structure in English, has become one of the foundational books in English linguistics.<\/p>\n<p>During his decades in exile, he created an exceptional oeuvre of poetry and literary translation. His gigantic work, begun jointly with P\u00e1l T\u00e1bori and Tam\u00e1s Kabdeb\u00f3, is a two-volume anthology of Hungarian poetry, In Quest of the Miracle Stag, which presents Hungarian poetry from ancient poetry to the present day in two 1200-page volumes. In 2011 he was awarded the Kossuth Prize for his work, and in 2016 his life&#8217;s work was recognised with the Kossuth Grand Prize. In 2015 he moved from Hawaii to his hometown Budapest, and in 2016 he was awarded the Order of St. Stephen of Hungary by President J\u00e1nos \u00c1der.<\/p>\n<p>I met him for the first time in 2010, when he and his wife and sister-in-law visited me during a trip to Transylvania &#8211; I was living in a village, sometimes feeling like I was at the end of the world. A few weeks ago, I was studying Noam Chomsky&#8217;s theories for an exam, and I was trying to accept the idea of language as a formula. Then &#8211; a real miracle &#8211; Adam Makkai, one of Chomsky&#8217;s critics, sat opposite me, riding my one-year-old son on his knee, talking about the need to synthesise the scientific nature of linguistics with the fact that man also has insights into the spiritual sciences, arguing for the legitimacy of the anthropological point of view against the doctrine of communication derived from the equivalence of sentences &#8211; all exemplified by idioms. The child watched in awe and occasionally giggled as Adam spelled out a name or a foreign phrase in his good professor&#8217;s way.<\/p>\n<p>When I hear \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai&#8217;s name, this is the image that always comes to mind, or the way he and his wife, \u00c1gnes Arany, recite S\u00e1ndor We\u00f6res&#8217; poem &#8220;Galagonya&#8221; (The Hawthorn) in Hungarian and English in front of an astonished audience at the Pet\u0151fi Literary Museum. This is one of the brilliant translations of the work, and S\u00e1ndor We\u00f6res even made a bet with Makkai that he would not be able to translate it into English. &#8220;It is a sacred job&#8221;, \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai said about literary translation, considering it a mission to make Hungarian poetry understood by the world. This patriotic sense of mission, this stubbornness, which also gave rise to the idea of researching the ancient poem, combined with the knowledge of an exceptional linguist and the impudence of a clever rebel &#8211; it takes the attention of a man of similar qualities to finally appreciate the life&#8217;s work of \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai in a worthy manner.<\/p>\n<p>He also wove into his writings the burden of his particular experience of sonship, his commitment to the eternal, his wise and provocative questions. We were awaiting the publication of his new volumes when \u00c1d\u00e1m Makkai passed away at the age of 85 &#8211; let us now also pay our respects to the poet. In his poem &#8220;Honv\u00e1gy vagy, vagy v\u00e1gy-hon?&#8221; (Homesickness or desired home), for example, after the contradictions he says &#8220;Minden honv\u00e1gy az \u00e9gb\u0151l sz\u00e1rmazott\u201d (All homesickness came from the sky). The day after his death, flipping through this twelve-part poem, it&#8217;s as if the poet is speaking back from the other side: &#8220;B\u00e1rmit tegyek is, csak Neked csin\u00e1lom, \/ az angol nyelvtan is csak vers, Neked. \/ Ereimben az er\u0151 megreked, \u00e9s k\u00e1ba nappalom merev k\u00edn, \u00e1lom. \/ Mit\u0151l vagyok \u00edgy elany\u00e1tlanodva?\u201d, majd \u201eB\u00e1rmit tegyek is, Haz\u00e1mnak csin\u00e1lom, \/ nyelvtan a vers is.
