Zsigmond Móricz (1879-1942), one of the leading
Hungarian writers of the 20th century, was born into
a poor peasant family. He became famous overnight as
a writer of distinctive short stories when his
autobiographical story 'Seven Pennies' appeared in
the periodical Nyugat in 1908. Hailed by the critics
as his most important novel, relations (1932) paints
a striking portrait of the provincial society that he
knew so well. It is a tale of the nepotism and
corruption that ensnare István Kopjáss; High office
is thrust upon him, but he finds himself dragged into
a network of shady deals and is driven, his idealism
shattered, to attempt sucide. Like Móricz's other
work, Relations is marked by direct language,
incisive characterisation, and its author's
passionate realism and patriorism.
