About the author

Endre Ady (1877–1919) was a Hungarian poet and journalist, born into a declining noble family. He is regarded as the greatest lyric poet of twentieth-century Hungary. His 1906 collection New Poems (Új versek) opened a new era in Hungarian modern poetry, bringing innovation in both form and language. His work focuses on themes such as social progress, love, and faith, with intense emotion, vivid imagery, and a often symbolic quality. He published several collections of poetry, and four of his works are held in this collection, including New Poems, At the Head of the Dead (A halottak élén), Our Own Love: Poems (A magunk szerelme: Versek), and The Fleeing Life (A menekülő Élet). He died in Budapest in 1919, and his poetry has had a profound influence on later Hungarian literature.
