Gyula Kruacute;dy (1878ndash;1933) was born in northeastern Hungary. Disinherited by his father, he first found success with Sindbadrsquo;s Youth in 1911 and later published a number of popular novels about contemporary Budapest. Forgotten in the years after his death, the success of Saacute;ndor Maacute;rairsquo;s Sindbad Comes Home, a fictionalized account of Kruacute;dyrsquo;s last day, led to a revival of Kruacute;dyrsquo;s works and to his recognition as one of the greatest Hungarian writers. George Szirtes is a Hungarian-born English poet and translator. He received the T.S. Eliot Prize for Reel (2004), and his The Burning of the Books and other poems was published in… 2009.
