The Korunk magazine turns one hundred

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Korunk, the cultural journal published in Cluj-Napoca, and the editorial board has released a special commemorative issue to celebrate the occasion. Since its launch in 1926, the magazine has naturally experienced both highs, and lows; publication was suspended between 1940 and 1957. Unique within both the Transylvanian Hungarian, and the broader Hungarian-language press landscape, the journal has always been capable of renewal, functioning as a kind of intellectual workshop that gathered around itself some of the most prominent fi gures of the intelligentsia. Three distinct periods can be identifi ed in the history of the magazine, and this article presents these three eras while also introducing the highly representative anniversary issue.
