EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Mor Jokai, the renowned Hungarian dramatist and novelist, as he gazes introsively into the distance, his thick beard framing his thoughtful expression. Born Moric Jokay de Asva in 1825, Jokai is considered one of the greatest figures in Hungarian literature, known for his vivid storytelling and exploration of Hungarian folklore. His works, which include both plays and novels, were deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of his homeland and often featured supernatural elements. Jokai's literary career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of great social and political change in Hungary. His writing reflected the complexities of Hungarian society and the challenges faced by its people, earning him a dedicated following both at home and abroad. This portrait, taken around the turn of the century, captures the author in the prime of his creative life, with the wisdom and experience of a man who had spent decades immersed in the world of fiction. Jokai's legacy continues to be celebrated in Hungary and beyond, with his works remaining a source of inspiration for generations of writers and artists. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to capturing the essence of Hungarian culture and sharing it with the world, leaving a lasting impact on Hungarian literature and the literary world at large.
