Autor

Mór Jókai, also known as Maurice Jókai, Maurus Jókai, or Mauritius Jókai, was a Hungarian novelist, dramatist, and revolutionary leader. Born on February 18, 1825, in Komárom, Hungary, Jókai is considered one of the most influential writers in Hungarian literature. His literary work includes historical novels, adventure stories, and plays, often reflecting the political upheavals of his time. He played a significant role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, which deeply influenced his worldview on freedom and national identity. Jókai's works, such as The Green Book and Timar's Two Worlds, delve into complex social and political themes, often set against rich and imaginative backdrops. Alongside his writing, Jókai was actively involved in the Hungarian political scene, particularly during the 1848 revolution. He was married twice, first to the actress Róza Laborfalvi, and later to Bella Nagy. He had one daughter, Róza Jókai. Jókai passed away on May 5, 1904, in Budapest, leaving behind a legacy that endures both through his literary contributions and his impact on Hungary's history.
