Every year on 22nd January, Hungary commemorates the Day of Hungarian Culture. This was the day when Ferenc Kölcsey completed the National Anthem of Hungary, the Hymn. "Himnusz" is a musical poetic prayer beginning with the words Isten, áldd meg a magyart (God, bless the Hungarians) that serves as the official national anthem of Hungary. It was adopted in 1844 and the first stanza is sung at official ceremonies. The words were written by Ferenc Kölcsey, a nationally renowned poet in 1823, and its musical setting was composed by the romantic composer Ferenc Erkel. The full meaning of the poem's text is evident only to those well acquainted with Hungarian history. The book club will discuss the historical era (reform era) in which the Nation Anthem was born.
