György Dalos

György Dalos (born 23 September 1943) is a Hungarian Jewish writer and historian.

He is best known for his novel 1985, and The Guest from the Future: Anna Akhmatova and Isaiah Berlin.

Dalos was born in Budapest and spent his childhood with his grandparents, as his father had died in 1945 in a labor camp, where he had been sent to as a Jew during World War II.

In 1968, Dalos was accused of "Maoist activities" and was handed seven months prison on probation and a Berufsverbot (professional disqualification) and a publication ban; due to that, he worked as a translator.

In 1988/89 he was co-editor of the East German underground opposition paper Ostkreuz.
