M ric J kay de sva (1825-1904), outside Hungary also known as Maurus Jokai or Mauritius J kai, was a Hungarian nobleman, novelist, dramatist and revolutionary. He was active participant and a leading personality in the outbreak of Hungarian Liberal Revolution of 1848 in Pest. J kai's romantic novels became very popular among the elite of Victorian era England; he was often compared to Dickens in the 19th century British press. One of his most famous fans and admirers was Queen Victoria herself. On the re-establishment of the Hungarian constitution by the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, J kai took an active part in politics. As a constant supporter of the Tisza administration, not only in parliament, but also as the editor of the government organ, Hon, founded by him in 1863.
Geboren am 18. Februar 1825 in Komárom; gestorben am 5. Mai 1904 in Budapest.Jókai verfasste vor allem historische Romane, die eine ihm eigene Romantik widerspiegeln. Er widmete sich zeitlebens der ungarischen Sprache. Jókai galt als liberaler ungarischer Patriot, er war nach 1897 Mitglied des ungarischen Parlaments. Er war Herausgeber des Satire- und Witzblattes Az Üstökös, das von 1861 bis 1920 in Wien erschien, und in dem er auch unter dem Pseudonym Kakas Márton (Martin Hahn) schrieb.Quelle: Wikipedia
