Autorenporträt
Mór Jókai, born on February 18, 1825, in Komárom, Hungary, was a Hungarian novelist, a prolific writer, whose romantic stories captivated a nation and mirrored the vicissitudes of Hungary during the 19th century. A lawyer by training, Jókai swiftly diverted to the literary realm, finding his true passion in the power of words. He captivated audiences with tales of heroism and the exotic, often blending history and fantasy in a unique tapestry that resonated with both the hopes and the despair of his contemporaries. His masterful use of language, coupled with rich narrative structures, has earned Jókai recognition as one of Hungary's greatest writers, often being referred to as the 'Hungarian Dickens' for his similarly intricate plots and memorable characters. His oeuvre is extensive, with 'In Love With the Czarina, and Other Stories' being just one example of his work that offers a glimpse into his genius and his aesthetic preoccupations. Not only an artist, but Jókai also played an active role in the political sphere, serving as a member of the Hungarian Parliament, and his written legacy continues to influence Hungarian literature and culture. He passed away on May 5, 1904, leaving a legacy of over 100 novels, numerous short stories, and essays, a testament to his insatiable creativity and dedication to the written word.
