Half autobiographical, dramatic, and at the same time humorous, Jokai's novel, crowned by the Hungarian Academy in 1860, is a delightful exception to the tendency which is fast making fiction a branch of science instead of art. -- Morning Post Eyes Like the Sea is an alluring book into which to dip at random... -- Academy. Eyes Like the Sea is one of those rare books that break all rules and defy criticism by justifying their irregularities. -- Guardian It is good to know too that fiction in Hungary has a master so hearty, so human, and so free at once from priggishness and naturalism. -- Saturday Review In some respects the heroine reminds us of Becky Sharp and in others of Manon Lescaut, and in feminine dexterity and sexual eccentricities is no unworthy mate for either. -- Athenaeum It is truly, as Mr. Bain remarks in his preface, a brilliant example of the now rare novel of incident and adventure... The vigor of the book is astonishing. -- World
Autorenporträt
Mór Jókai, also known as Maurice Jókai, Maurus Jókai, or Mauritius Jókai, was a Hungarian novelist, dramatist, and revolutionary leader. Born on February 18, 1825, in Komárom, Hungary, Jókai is considered one of the most influential writers in Hungarian literature. His literary work includes historical novels, adventure stories, and plays, often reflecting the political upheavals of his time. He played a significant role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, which deeply influenced his worldview on freedom and national identity. Jókai's works, such as The Green Book and Timar's Two Worlds, delve into complex social and political themes, often set against rich and imaginative backdrops. Alongside his writing, Jókai was actively involved in the Hungarian political scene, particularly during the 1848 revolution. He was married twice, first to the actress Róza Laborfalvi, and later to Bella Nagy. He had one daughter, Róza Jókai. Jókai passed away on May 5, 1904, in Budapest, leaving behind a legacy that endures both through his literary contributions and his impact on Hungary's history.
