In addition to a stunning array of fiction - over eighty novels and stories - Krudy's non-fiction output is considerable, about eighteen hundred items of journalistic writing. These writings constitute a colourful and closely observed 'chronicle' of Hungary in the first decades of the twentieth century." 330 8 $a"Written during the 1910's, 20's and 30's, 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. Krudy's reports follow the bloodless democratic revolution of 1918, the Karolyi government and the short-lived Soviet Republic, and present cameos of the leading political figures of the day such as Ferenc Kossuth, Mihaly Karolyi and Bela Kun."--Jacket. 517 1 $aKrudy's Chronicles 531 1 $aKRÚDY'S CHRONICLES 607 $aHungary$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 676 $a943.905 700 $aKrúdy$b Gyula$0683386 701 $aBatki$b John$01016748 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248240703316 996 $aKrúdy's chronicles$92380610 997 $aUNISA
