Gyula Krúdy is one of the towering figures of 20th century Hungarian literature. In addition to a stunning array of fiction- over eighty novels and stories, his non-fiction output is considerable, about eighteen hundred items of journalistic writing which constitute a colourful and closely observed 'chronicle' of Hungary in the first decades of the twentieth century. Selected, edited and translated by John Bátki. Introductory essay by John Lukacs.
