The Novels of Zsigmond Móricz in the Context of European Realism
The Novels of Zsigmond Móricz in the Context of European Realism is the first English-language monograph on one of Hungary's--and Central Europe's--most important modern authors. Using a thematic approach that privileges literary characters as stand-ins for real human beings, Virginia L. Lewis investigates Móricz's thematization of individual agency in seven realist novels that form the foundation of the author's reputation as a major twentieth-century novelist. Lewis does an outstanding job of showcasing the research results of the many Hungarian scholars who have studied Móricz's narrative output over the past century, while also bringing decidedly new perspectives to the table in intro...
Gold in the Mud
"Gold in the Mud (Sárarany) is a classic of Hungarian literature. Penned in 1910 by Zsigmond Móricz and first appearing in the famed Nyugat literary magazine, the novel gives a gripping account of wealthy peasant Dani Turi's dogged yet doomed quest to break the bonds of his social status and achieve economic success as a landowner. Gold in the Mud sealed Móricz's reputation as the first Hungarian author to portray the peasant classes with unflinching realism."--From the cover.
Orphalina
Arguably the most gut-wrenching, and simultaneously the most lyrical of Zsigmond Móricz's numerous novels, Orphalina recounts events inspired by the real-life experiences of Erzsébet Litkei (1916-1971), an orphaned girl whom Móricz met in Budapest in 1934. As the tragic fate of "Orphalina State," the protagonist in this novel, reveals, Litkei was clearly a touchstone for Móricz in his quest to reveal the deepest layers of suffering in interwar Hungarian society, and to uncover the forces at work in stifling the agency of human beings deserving of access to a good life.
Budapest 1900
A distinguished historian and Budapest native offers a rich and eloquent portrait of one of the great European cities at the height of its powers. Budapest, like Paris and Vienna, experienced a remarkable exfoliation at the end of the nineteenth century. In terms of population growth, material expansion, and cultural exuberance, it was among the foremost metropolitan centers of the world, the cradle of such talents as Bartók, Kodály, Krúdy, Ady, Molnár, Koestler, Szilárd, and von Neumann, among others. John Lukacs provides a cultural and historical portrait of the city—its sights, sounds, and inhabitants; the artistic and material culture; its class dynamics; the essential role played...

Elizabeth Adam’s Progressive Humanist Non-Nationalist Universal-Nation-Making Means (Second Edition)
Besides presenting her humanist principles, their introduction in her art and diffusion, this book discloses those information, “puzzles” relative to the ethnical and the national secret political organizations, which the Hungarian actress in Romania Elizabeth Adam (1947-2014) — in her original name Erzsébet ÁDÁM — introduced codedly, “hid” in her art, and partly because of which she was in several states “marginalized”, persecuted in secret, and then forbidden from practicing her profession.
