      "A callous man, he loved nobody and nothing in this world except that fur cloak", 17 May 2015This review is from: Heathen Master Filcsik (Paperback)Turn of the century Hungarian short story, telling the tale of Stephen Filcsik, a lazy and unpleasant bootmaker: "No cruelty ever cried louder to heaven than his, and he directed it mainly upon his only child, his daughter Therese."When her father repudiates her for marrying against his will, poor Therese seeks to re-establish a relationship with her stone-hearted father...Quite an enjoyable little story.

    Cleveland Ohio: Printed at The Clerk's Private Press - mcmx

    Introductory Note.

    Through the kindness of William N. Loew, Esq., of the New York Bar, who has generously placed the manuscript at our disposal, we are able to offer a translation of one of the shorter stories by a living Hungarian writer.

    The Magyar literature offers a mine of gold to the translator, but on account of the difficulties of the language very few have explored it. With the exception of the great novelist, Maurus Jókai, the works of the majority of the first class authors are unknown to the average American reader.

    The difficulties of the Magyar tongue have been referred to. It is the one great literary language of Europe that is of non-Aryan origin.

The verb is particularly flexible and many of the tenses cannot be rendered adequately in English because they are constructed after a different system.
