Mihály PraznovszkyWriters and Cults

The book includes essays on Imre Madách, Kálmán Mikszáth, Mór Jókai, Károly Eötvös, János Batsányi and Gyula Krúdy. But Mihály Praznovszky did not limit himself to literature before the world wars; like the above-mentioned, he also surprises his readers with many interesting and novel facts when he examines the life of Attila József or Tibor Déry, who lived in Veszprém and on Lake Balaton.

On the back cover, Mihály Praznovszky an eminent authority on Hungarian literary museology and literary history, dedicates the book to the author:

"The writings that the reader can leaf through are mostly about two of my homelands. One is the original county of Nógrád, the land of Madách and Mikszáth. The other is the host county, Veszprém, where I have lived almost as long as I have in Nógrád. Moreover, I can't even separate the two, because everyone I write about can be linked to this place and to that place on the basis of their life's work and their life's journey. It is a homeland, even if it is so small. But the volume shows that it was once, say before 1920, much more significant."
