Books By Dezso Kosztolányi - Author

Dezso Kosztolányi (1885-1936) first made his name as a poet, but turned his attention to the novel after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1918. Much of his prose is concerned with the life and legacy of that unique Central European state. His first novel, Nero, the Bloody Poet (1922) won him the admiration of Thomas Mann. This and Kosztolányi's last finished novel, Anna Édes (1926), are also available in English translation
