Meeting the writer
Géza Gárdonyi was a Hungarian writer and journalist (1863-1922). Although he wrote a range of works, he had his greatest success as a historical novelist, particularly with Eclipse of the Crescent Moon (in Hungarian: Stars of Eger). This novel recounts the improbable victory of the Hungarian defenders of the fortress of Eger in 1552 during the siege by the Turkish army. Gárdonyi moved to Eger in 1897. I have another photo with him in my profile taken in 2019. Can you find it?
