to Be (1942), and the 1937 film Angel, starring Marlene Dietrich. Lengyel returned to Europe in 1960 and settled down in Italy. In 1963, he received the Great Award of Rome for his literary works. After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Lengyel often visited his home country and returned to live in Budapest in 1974. He died there shortly afterwards at the age of 94. The city library of Balmazújváros, his native town, was named after him in 2004. A complete list of Lengyel's works as well as the articles and references about him and his publications were compiled by one of the librarians on this occasion.
