Produktbeschreibung
Mr Jkai, born Mric Jkay (1825-1904), outside Hungary also known as Maurus Jkai, was a Hungarian dramatist and novelist. On the re-establishment of the Hungarian constitution by the Composition of 1867, he took an active part in politics. As a constant supporter of the Tisza administration, not only in parliament, where he sat continuously for more than twenty years, but also as the editor of the government organ, Hon, founded by him in 1863, he became a power in the state, and, though he never took office himself, frequently extricated the government from difficult places. He was an archromantic, with an almost Oriental imagination, and humour of the purest, rarest description. He continued to devote most of his time to literature, and his productiveness after 1870 was stupendous, amounting to some hundreds of volumes. Stranger still, none of this work is slipshod, and the best of it deserves to endure. His works include: Dr. Dumany's Wife (1891), The Nameless Castle (1896), The Poor Plutocrats (1899), Halil the Pedlar: A Tale of Old Stambul (1901) and Manasseh: A Romance of Transylvania (1901).
Manasseh: A Romance Of Transylvania is a novel written by Maurus Jokai and published in 1901. The story is set in the late 17th century in Transylvania, a region in modern-day Romania. It revolves around the character of Manasseh, a Jewish merchant who is forced to flee his home in Poland due to persecution. Manasseh arrives in Transylvania, where he falls in love with the beautiful and wealthy Esther, who is also Jewish. However, their love is complicated by the fact that Esther is already engaged to a wealthy nobleman, Count Michael. As Manasseh tries to win Esther's heart, he becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy involving the Turkish Empire and the Habsburg Empire. He is also forced to confront his own beliefs and values as he navigates the complex social and religious dynamics of Transylvania. The novel is a tale of love, adventure, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in Transylvania's history. It explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for freedom and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Móric Jókay de Ásva (1825 - 1904), outside Hungary also known as Maurus Jokai, was a Hungarian dramatist and novelist. Jókai was extremely prolific. It was to literature that he continued to devote most of his time and his productiveness after 1870 was stupendous, amounting to some hundreds of volumes. Stranger still, none of this work is slipshod and the best of it deserves to endure. Amongst the finest of his later works may be mentioned the unique and incomparable Az arany ember (A Man of Gold, translated into English, among others, under the title The Man with the Golden Touch), the most popular A koszívu ember fiai (The Heartless Man's Sons), the heroic chronicle of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and A tengerszemu hölgy (Eyes like the Sea), the latter of which won the Academy's prize in 1890. He was also an amateur chess player. His jövo század regénye (The novel of the next century - 1872) is accounted an important early work of Science Fiction though the term did not yet exist at the time. In spite of its romantic trappings, this monumental two-volume novel includes some acute observations and almost prophetic visions, such as the prediction of a revolution in Russia and the establishment of a totalitarian state there, or the arrival of aviation. Because it could be read as a satirical allegory on Leninism and Stalinism in the Soviet Union, the book was banned in Hungary in the decades of the Communist régime. (Its "Critical Edition" was delayed until 1981.)
