Speech by Dr. Tamás Sulyok on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Mór Jókai
We stand before the grave of an exceptional Hungarian, a monument to one of Hungary's intellectual giants. But it is not the sorrow of his passing that has brought us here, but the joy and celebration of the fact that by the grace of the Creator, we have by now enjoyed his legacy for two centuries. We are not here to mourn his absence, but to bow our heads before his memory and thank him for what he left us.
