Life

Sándor Bródy's grave in the Jewish cemetery on Kozma Street in Budapest

Bródy was of Jewish descent. After attending schools, he began as a journalist in Transylvania, where he was editor of the newspaper Erdélyi Hiradó (Transylvanian News) from 1888 to 1890 . He then went to Budapest and worked from 1892 to 1902 for the prestigious Magyar Hírlap newspaper . Early literary successes encouraged him to become a writer.

Works

Bródy wrote numerous short stories, novels and plays. He combined romantic ( Mór Jókai ) and naturalistic models ( Émile Zola ) in his work. By introducing the Budapest jargon of the time into the literary language, he had a fruitful effect on modern Hungarian literature. Some pieces are characterized by harsh social criticism.
