About the author

Born in Komárom in 1825, Mór Jókai became one of Hungary’s most important and most widely read novelists. Encyclopaedia Britannica describes him as one of the major Hungarian writers of the 19th century, and his collected works eventually filled 100 volumes. Outside Hungary, his name has also appeared in forms such as Maurice Jókai.

Jókai was not only a writer but also a public figure. Wikipedia notes that he was involved in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 in Pest, and later sources describe him as a journalist and a member of the Hungarian parliament. That mix of political experience and literary imagination helped shape fiction known for its strong storytelling, vivid emotion, and national themes.

He died in Budapest in 1904, but his place in Hungarian culture has lasted. For listeners coming to him for the first time, he stands out as an author of big historical sweep and generous narrative energy—someone whose books helped define what the Hungarian novel could be.
