Krudy's Chronicles: Turn-Of-The-Century Hungary in Gyula Krudy's Journalism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789639116795)

Written during the 1910s '20s and '30s, these articles offer a wistful and nostalgic image of the waning years of the Austro-Hungarian empire, with portraits of the Habsburgs, culminating in first-hand reports in 1916, from Vienna on the funeral of Emperor Francis Joseph I, and from Budapest on the coronation of Charles IV, the last king of Hungary. Kr棈y's reports follow the bloodless democratic revolution of 1918, the K疵olyi government and the short-lived Soviet Republic, and present cameos of the leading political figures of the day such as Ferenc Kossuth, Mih疝y K疵olyi and B駘a Kun.

In his lively, casual pieces Kr棈y displays his intimate knowledge of Hungarian society with a special emphasis on literature and publishing.
