Buy books on Amazon
Called a "great, great writer" by Endre Ady, she was one of the most important female Hungarian authors, and an important member of the Nyugat generation. Her writing was inspired by József Kiss, Mihály Szabolcska, and the writers' group of the periodical Hét.
Her works dealt mostly with two main themes: the fall of the gentry, and the physical and spiritual hardships of the independent women in the turn of the century. She often wrote about her personal memories of great national crises, the glaring oppositions of the anachronistic society in Hungary.
Her literary career can be divided into three chapters, from 1901 to the start of Nyugat in 1908, the second ending in the start of the war in 1918 -

János Háy
Háy János (író, költő) 1960. április elsején született Vámosmikolán. Orosz-történelem szakot végzett Szegeden, esztétikát az ELTE-n. 1989-től 2004-ig kiadói szerkesztőként dolgozott (Holnap, Pesti Szalon, Palatinus). Régésznek készült, de első ásatása során véletlenül feltárta kedvenc kutyájának maradványait. Ezt követően figyelme egyre inkább a rock-zenére irányult. 1982-ben azonban egy kudarcba fulladt zenekar alapítási kísérlet után felhagy a zenével. Ezidőtől publikál irodalmi műveket. Versek, novellák és regények mellett számos rajza is megjelent. Budapesten él. Van gyermeke (kettő), felesége (egy). Olyan, mint mindenki.

La muerte salió cabalgando de Persia se publicó por primera vez en 1979.
