Summary "A magyar népköltés gyöngyei: A legszebb népdalok gyüjteménye" by Elek Benedek is a collection of Hungarian folk songs written in the late 19th century. This work gathers some of the most beautiful and significant pieces of Hungarian folk poetry, aiming to present the rich cultural heritage of the Hungarian people to a broader audience. The author’s goal is to make these folk gems accessible and appreciated, especially for those who may not be well-versed in their origins or artistry. The opening portion introduces the author's intentions and rationale for compiling this collection. Elek Benedek expresses concern over the limited recognition of Hungarian folk poetry among educated individuals and the general public, despite its richness. He explains how he carefully selected songs showcasing true poetic value, which evoke strong emotions and connections to the reader. The author specifically notes the significance of themes like love and longing throughout the songs, illustrating the emotional landscape these works traverse. In addition, he highlights the inclusion of various modified versions of the songs, ensuring that readers receive the most powerful iterations of these folk treasures.
