Hungarian Authors; a Bibliographical Handbook
This exceptional bibliography, a pioneer work in its field, surveys Hungarian literature from its beginnings to 1965.

Budapest ist geprägt von den Folgen der Weltwirtschaftskrise, und die Protagonisten der Erzählungen bekommen das am eigenen Leib zu spüren. Gelléri kannte die Lebenswirklichkeit seiner Figuren nur zu gut, er selbst arbeitete in unzähligen Berufen, musste für seine täglichen Mahlzeiten schuften – und brachte es doch immer wieder fertig, eine ganz einzigartige Literatur zu schaffen.
