Krudy's Chronicles

Turn-Of-The-Century Hungary in Gyula Krudy's Journalism

Herausgeber: Batki, John

Beschreibung

A wistful and nostalgic image of the waning years of the Austro-Hungarian empire, following the bloodless democratic revolution of 1918, the Karolyi government and the short-lived Soviet Republic, and presents cameos of the leading political figures of the day, such as Ferenc Kossuth, Mihaly Karoli and Bela Kun.

Autor

Gyula Krúdy is one of the towering figures of 20th century Hungarian literature. In addition to a stunning array of fiction- over eighty novels and stories, his non-fiction output is considerable, about eighteen hundred items of journalistic writing which constitute a colourful and closely observed 'chronicle' of Hungary in the first decades of the twentieth century. Selected, edited and translated by John Bátki. Introductory essay by John Lukacs.
