Sandor PetofiStatue - Budapest

Önmagában a hely egy árnyékos park rálátással a Gellérthegyre. Ugyanakkor rendezvény szempontjából van benne lehetőség, ahogy az elmúlt időszakban volt rá példa.

Szeretjük a költőt, így nem zavar, hogy küleme a római kort idézi.

A szobor felállítását Reményi Ede hegedűművész kezdeményezte, s nagymértékben hozzájárult anyagilg annak létrehozásához. Izsó Miklós halála miatt volt szükség arra, hogy a munkát Huszár Adolf befejezze. A talpazatot, s a szobrot körülvevő rácsot Ybl Miklós tervezte. A szürke gránit talapzat 535cm, a költő bronz szobra 375cm magas. Szerintem ez a szobor Budapest egyik legjellegzetesebb alkotása, kiindulási hely a városban.

Скульпткра відомого угорського поета, чия творчість надихнула угорців на визвольну війну проти австрійського імператора. На жаль, війну тоді програли.

Grate PETOFI

Interesting Hungarian history

This is statue dedicated to Sándor Petőfi who wrote a poem called The National Song which is said to have inspired the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. He was one of the young leaders of the revolution and was key in starting the revolution in Pest. You will find lots of places names after Petőfi in Hungary. The National Song: On your feet, Hungary, the homeland calls! The time is here, now or never! Shall we be slaves or free? This is the question, choose your answer! - By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! We were slaves up til now, Damned are our ancestors, Who lived and died free, Cannot rest in a slave land. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! Useless villain of a man, Who now, if need be, doesn't dare to die, Who values his pathetic life greater Than the honor of his homeland. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! The sword shines brighter than the chain, Decorates better the arm, And we still wore chains! Return now, our old sword! By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! The Magyar name will be great again, Worthy of its old, great honor; Which the centuries smeared on it, We will wash away the shame! By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer! Where our grave mounds lie, Our grandchildren will kneel, And with blessing prayer, Recite our sainted names. By the God of the Hungarians We vow, We vow, that we will be slaves No longer!

Monument to Sandor Petőfi (1823-1849). He was the national poet of Hungary, one of many men who inspired Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849. Although it was the very strange revolution because Hungarians fought for the recreation of their national independence from Austria but the same time they denied independence and rights of Croats, Slovaks and Slovenians. Death of Petőfi is the enigma till nowadays. Probably he was killed in action in the Battle of Segesvar between Hungarian revolutionaries and Russian Imperial Army in 1849. Or, according to some sources, he died from tuberculosis being POW. As Hungarians say, "disappeared as Petőfi in the fog". Pest, Budapest, ?? Hungary ??. November 11, 2021.
