Summary/Abstract: Lajos Hatvany emigrates to Vienna in 1920, where he continues to be engaged in publishing and studies the questions of Hungarian literature, but feels an unappeasable desire to return to Hungary. Because he has an arrest warrant there, in order to live in dominantly Hungarian environment he chooses Transylvania, where he repeatedly travels to. This study investigates the types of activities he pursues in the emerging minority culture. By the current state of the processing of Hatvany’s legacy, the posed problem can be studied on three levels: 1. his Transylvanian relations, based on the correspondence published and on some of his letters remained in form of manuscripts; 2. his writings appeared in Transylvanian periodicals, the reception of his work in Transylvania; 3. nurturing of Ady’s memory and the Partium/Transylvanian threads of this.
