Michael Moorcock in Hungarian

[Csilla Kleinheincz]

Hi all!

Let me introduce myself. I am the editor of the Hungarian publishing house Delta Vision that has started a Moorcock series. Some of Michael's books have been published earlier in Hungarian by different publishers - we plan to bring all multiverse books to Hungarian readers in one long series. They have waited far too long for them.
The first book in the new-old series is The Eternal Champion, with cover art done by Kira Sلnta. Translation is by Katalin Héjj.

About the Hungarian edition of The Eternal Champion: http://www.deltavision.hu/index.php?m=0&cikk=821 (in Hungarian, sorry)
The cover art can be found in Kira Sلnta's gallery:

Book design is by Gلbor Csigلs (interesting sidenote: he is not only a good graphic designer but a very talented Hungarian dark fantasy writer as well):

And it might be interesting...

Next books will be Phoenix in Obsidian and Gloriana. I will post about them when they come out, the cover art of Gloriana will be something worth to see. We are so lucky to have Kira as an artist on the series.

Ez jَ hيr! Kِszِnِm, Csilla! (Good news! Thank you, Csilla!). Finally some of my relatives who prefer to read in Hungarian, will have a chance to read some Moorcock!

Please keep us updated

Here's, by the way, the old cover of Elric of Melniboné:

I'll also spread the word among people I know!

Looks great!

Lovely work! And the Eternal Champion cover is great too.

[Csilla Kleinheincz]

Oh, you were real fast, Oren! :)

Yep, that's the cover.

[Oren]

Oh, you were real fast, Oren! :)

Yep, that's the cover.

Csilla, does the Hungarian edition of Gloriana contain a translation of the original penultimate chapter or of the revised one? Or maybe both versions as in the latest US edition?

It contains both, as well as the translation of the lyrics from the Gloriana musical (those were really nice) and Michael Moorcock's foreword (plus a short afterword on the Hungarian translation).

Don't forget to send us high quality pics of the covers to add to our Image Hive, Csilla.

[Oren]

As a friend of mine (wearing a black helmet) once said: Impressive... most impressive!

That Gloriana cover is superb. It would be nice to see it grace one of the English language editions one day.

Since this thread began, Delta Vision have released three further Moorcock novels in Hungary. I've created a Hungarian album in the Image Hive which contains copies of all five DV covers (plus the earlier Elric above).

Thanks David, I'd completely forgotton about this thread.

I've added the wraparound of 'Gloriana' which Oren posted above, as well as one of 'The Eternal Champion', and made a few other adjustments. Some very nice covers there.
