Mr Jkai, born Mric Jkay (1825-1904), outside Hungary also known as
Maurus Jkai, was a Hungarian dramatist and novelist. On the
re-establishment of the Hungarian constitution by the Composition
of 1867, he took an active part in politics. As a constant
supporter of the Tisza administration, not only in parliament,
where he sat continuously for more than twenty years, but also as
the editor of the government organ, Hon, founded by him in 1863, he
became a power in the state, and, though he never took office
himself, frequently extricated the government from difficult
places. He was an archromantic, with an almost Oriental
imagination, and humour of the purest, rarest description. He
continued to devote most of his time to literature, and his
productiveness after 1870 was stupendous, amounting to some
hundreds of volumes. Stranger still, none of this work is slipshod,
and the best of it deserves to endure. His works include: Dr.
Dumany's Wife (1891), The Nameless Castle (1896), The Poor
Plutocrats (1899), Halil the Pedlar: A Tale of Old Stambul (1901)
and Manasseh: A Romance of Transylvania (1901).
