Hungarian-born poet, writer and translator, György Faludy first came to fame with his erotic translation of the Ballads of Villon, raising official eyebrows with his next publication, collection of poems called A pompeji strázsan. However, his most notable work, My Happy Days in Hell, a memoir of time spent at labor camp, was published much later, earning him eternal fame.
