Revision as of 23:08, 9 October 2008

Lónsöræfi is a wilderness area in south-east Iceland. The region is characterised by its varied geological formations. These mostly date from a period 5-7 million years ago when the volcano Kollumúlaeldstöðvar was active. The glacier tongues of the eastern extreme of Vatnajökull also impose themselves on the area. Visible to the north-west is Snæfell (1833m), the highest peak in Iceland that isn't part of a glacier. The mountains within the area itself include Sauðhamarstindur (1319m) and Jökulgilstindar (1313 m).

Lónsöræfi, while less known and less accessible than areas such as Skaftafell and the Southern Highlands, is nevertheless popular with hikers. A transport service from Stafafell farm into the reserve via all-terrain bus is available. Alternatively, the recent construction of a bridge for walkers over the Jökulsá í Lóni river at Eskifell has improved access for hikers. There are mountain huts at Geldingafell, Múlaskáli and Egilssel run by regional associations of Ferðafélag Íslands. A 4-6 day walking route fromSnæfell to Stafafell is possible via the Eyjabakkajökull glacier tongue. The area can also be reached fromGeithellnadalur. The nearest settlements of any size are Höfn and Djúpivogur.

-'''Ferenc Fejtő''', or '''François Fejtő''' in French ([[August 31]], [[1909]] &ndash; [[June 2]], [[2008]]), was a [[Hungary|Hungarian]]-born [[France|French]] [[journalist]] and [[political scientist]], specializing in [[Eastern Europe]].
+{{coord missing|Iceland}}
-He was born in [[Nagykanizsa]] to a well-off Jewish Hungarian family of booksellers and publishers. Following the fall of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]], several members of his family became Yugoslavian, Italian, Czechoslovak and Romanian citizens.
+{{DEFAULTSORT:Lonsoraefi}}
-He studied literature at [[Pécs]] and [[Budapest]] universities, alongside Slavic, German and Italian students. In 1932, he was condemned to a year in prison for organizing a Marxist study group. In 1934, he enrolled in the [[Social Democratic Party (Hungary)|Social Democratic Party]], where he contributed to the ''Népszava'' daily and to the ''Szocializmus'' journal. In 1935, together with the poet [[Attila József]] and the publicist [[Pál Ignotus]], he founded the anti-fascist and anti-Stalinist literary journal ''Szép Szó''. He published [[Jean-Paul Sartre|Sartre]], [[Emmanuel Mounier|Mounier]], and [[Jacques Maritain|Maritain]]. In 1938, following a sentence of six months in prison for an article criticizing the pro-German stance of the government, he left Hungary for France. During the [[Second World War]], he took part in the [[French Resistance]].

-In 1945, François Fejtő headed the press department of the Hungarian embassy in Paris. He resigned his position in protest against the condemnation of his longtime friend [[László Rajk]], and cut all links with Hungary. He returned to his native country only once, for [[Imre Nagy]]'s national funeral in [[1989]].
-After the war, Fejtő attended the ''Congrès des intellectuels pour la liberté'', alongside [[Raymond Aron]], [[François Bondy]], and [[David Rousset]]. The publication in 1952 of his book ''A History of the People's Democracies'' (translated in seventeen languages and re-edited several times) earned him suspicion on the part of several intellectual figures close to the [[French Communist Party]].
-Between 1944 and 1979 he worked at the [[Agence France-Presse]] as a journalist commenting on Eastern European events. He acquired French citizenship in [[1955]]. Between 1972 and 1984, he taught at the [[Institut d'études politiques de Paris]]. In 1973, a jury presided over by Raymond Aron granted him the title of ''docteur ès lettres'' for his literary output.
-François Fejtő devoted most of his journalistic and literary career to the study of Eastern European regimes. In his lifetime, he observed their birth, growth, decline, and fall.
-He also contributed to numerous French and non-French journals and newspapers, including ''Esprit'', ''Arguments'', ''Contre-Point'', ''Commentaire'', ''[[Le Monde]]'', ''[[Le Figaro]]'', ''[[La Croix]]'', ''[[Il Giornale]]'', ''[[La Vanguardia]]'', and ''Magyar Hírlap''.
-François Fejtő remains one of the great European intellectual figures of the [[20th century]]. Close friends with [[Paul Nizan|Nizan]], [[Emmanuel Mounier|Mounier]] and [[Albert Camus|Camus]], critical interlocutor of [[André Malraux|Malraux]] and [[Jean-Paul Sartre|Sartre]], he met with leaders of the [[Komintern]] and the [[Communist]] movement, talked to the masters of the [[Kremlin]], to [[Josip Broz Tito|Tito]], [[Fidel Castro|Castro]], and [[Willy Brandt]], and both admired and criticized [[Charles de Gaulle]] and [[François Mitterrand]]. On his death, Hungary declared a period of national mourning.
