Len Rix's first published translation from Hungarian was of Tamás Kabdebó's Minden idők (A Time for Everything) (Cardinal Press, 1995), but he is best known for his renderings of Antal Szerb, especially Journey by Moonlight (Utas és holdvilág, 1937), reprinted several times since first issued by Pushkin Press in 2001. In 2006 his translation of Magda Szabó's The Door (Az ajtó, 1987) was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and awarded the 2006 Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize.

Len Rix's first published translation from Hungarian was of Tamás Kabdebó's Minden idők (A Time for Everything) (Cardinal Press, 1995), but he is best known for his renderings of Antal Szerb, especially Journey by Moonlight (Utas és holdvilág, 1937), reprinted several times since first issued by Pushkin Press in 2001. In 2006 his translation of Magda Szabó's The Door (Az ajtó, 1987) was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and awarded the 2006 Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize.
