1887 born in Budapest Novelist, journalist, playwright poet and short story writer; he is also very popular for his ingenious translations, especially that of Winnie the Pooh. "To this day Karinthy remains the most serious - and the most popular - of twentieth-century Hungarian authors. He produced plays, poems, short stories, novels, essays and newspaper articles, as well as parodies and grotesque pieces. Yet even Karinthy's most amusing works reflect the cautious realism of a wise humanitarian." (From the jacket of A Journey Round My Skull)
