gynap-sm.jpgExperience Hungarian Folklore!!! Through this interactive series, we expect to learn the meaning and cultural value that folklore has in the Hungarian community. At each session, we will review the most widely known and best loved Hungarian legends, fables, and folk stories.

In addition, we will offer activities and entertainment for our younger participants. Concurrently, we will host focus group interviews with adults to learn about when-where-how each participant heard about these folk stories and whether it was known to them in their youth. These interviews will be audio-tape recorded and become part of our oral history to be preserved on the CHHS website.

All are invited to attend. The lectures will be held at the Hungarian Heritage Museum, The Galleria, Downtown, Cleveland.    IN ENGLISH!


DATES:  2007-2008 
2nd Saturdays of the month*

FÜSTBEMENT TERV
irta Petöfi Sándor

Egész uton - hazafelé -
Azon gondolkodám:
Miként fogom szólítani
Rég nem látott anyám?  

Mit mondok majd eloször is
Kedvest, szépet neki?
Midon, mely bölcsom ringatá,
A kart terjeszti ki.

S jutott eszembe számtalan
Szebbnél-szebb gondolat,
Mig állni látszék az ido,
Bár a szekér szaladt.

S a kis szobába toppanék...
Röpult felém anyám...
S én csüggtem ajkán... szótlanúl...
Mint a gyümölcs a fán.

Dunavecse, 1844. április
