About the author

Born in Komárom on February 18, 1825, Mór Jókai became one of the central voices of Hungarian literature. He first trained in law, but writing and public life soon took over, and he was also active as a journalist and political figure during the revolutionary era of 1848.

Jókai was famously prolific, publishing a huge body of fiction across the second half of the 19th century. His novels helped shape the modern Hungarian reading public, and readers were drawn to his sweeping plots, vivid characters, humor, patriotism, and gift for mixing history with dramatic storytelling.

He died in Budapest on May 5, 1904, but his reputation endured well beyond his lifetime. Today he is remembered as one of Hungary’s classic novelists, a writer whose stories opened up the country’s past and present in a way that was both grand and deeply entertaining.
