Thomas SneddonThese are the first published works by an exciting new translator, Thomas Sneddon. Born in Ireland, he completed an MA in translation at Queen's University, Belfast. He currently lives and works in Budapest. Tom Sneddon's translation are endorsed by Thomas Barcsay, Professor Emeritus (Department of History) at Ryerson University, Toronto. He is the great-nephew of Miklós Bánffy. Praising the quality of the translation, Barcsay says: Hungarian is a notoriously concise language and Miklos Bánffy's prose is more compact than most. To discover the subtle layers of meaning underlying the text and to render these in English without ignoring the hint of lyricism which infuses them requires both talent and sophistication. Thomas Sneddon's outstanding translation shows that he possesses these qualities in abundance. Read More Read Less
