Gyula Krudy

    0.01 sec.
Krúdy, Gyula 

Born Oct. 21, 1878, in Nyíregyháza; died May 12, 1933, in Budapest. Hungarian writer.

Krúdy was the son of a lawyer. His short stories The Youth of Sindbad (1911), The Red Stagecoach (1914), Seven Owls (1922), and The Elegant Life of Kálman Rezéda (1933) depicted the almost spectral monotonous life of the provinces and the decline of the Hungarian gentry. Many of Krúdy’s articles and essays evince his sympathy for the Hungarian proletarian revolution of 1919.

Avantgarde painting flourished, and the modernist literature of the period was hallmarked by the sophisticated, multilevel symbolist poetry of Endre Ady, the anecdotic narrative style of Kalman Mikszath, and the surrealist prose of Gyula Krudy, to mention only a few of the considerable number of important names.
The chapter he devoted to the "Great Generation" of Hungarian intellectuals (1875-1905) contains, among other fine things, a verbal miniature of Gyula Krudy, a writer who loved patrician ways of life, whose memories "poured into scenes of a bygone patrician world of domesticity, peopled by spotless wives and honorable old men.
