Welcome to the online version of Pilvax magazine, an occasional
review of English-language literature published in Budapest Archives

Pilvax was founded in the late summer of 2004 and our first issue was published in February of 2005. It was printed and assembled by hand and had a print run of 250 copies, which were sold at poetry readings around Budapest and at Red Bus Books, one of the city's used English book shops.

From the beginning our approach has been to concentrate on the highest quality literature - in original English or in translation - and to present it in an attractive print format.

As a result, we have gradually expanded our scope to include some of Central Europe's most prominent literary voices. We have also expanded our distribution and are now available for purchase in several European cities and in the US.

Since 2006, Pilvax has been affiliated with the Papai Nyari Szinhazert foundation, a non-profit arts organization that allows us to accept tax-deductible donations and to apply for grants and other funding.
