Jenő Rákosi

Jenő Rákosi (born Jenő Kremsner; 12 November 1842, Acsád, Kingdom of Hungary – 8 February 1929, Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian writer, journalist, theater director, editor, and a member of Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Kisfaludy Society and a member of the Petőfi Association.

A luckily poetic minded young man, he had illustrious teachers Jeromos Lóskay and Flórián Hollósy tutoring him as a senior and managed to get to Sopron Roman Catholic high school.

The foundation of self-study groups were largely from fellow student János Hérics (Tóth), who later became President of the Royal Court of Appeal.

On one occasion, at high school age, Rákosi's parents sent him to Graz and became part of the theatre scene; the German winning piece Birchpfeifer was so pleasing to him that he wanted a copy to be delivered home, especially after seeing the play after listening to the translation.

Rákosi's father was impoverished due to a variety of disasters with nine living children, but the parents' burden was lightened and lived by himself in search, school career stopped and went to Somogy County where, in the autumn of 1860 and spring of 1862 in Lengyeltóti, landed in Count János Zichy's estate, József Perlaky steward's children répétiteur and at the same time marketing intern volt.

Even in the economic field and he gave up after this dismal deserved statement and in 1862 by József Jankovich's clerk in his estate in Öreglak (Somogy County).

On 14 October 1866 he took his first staged romantic drama at the National Theatre (released a day earlier in Győr) and had a definite success.

Baron Zsigmond Kemény called his board colleague who had cancer in the past with pieces of old glories by critics of the academy, not so much in order to be employed, but as more to provide for writing plays of his financial problems independent of the situation, as such, Rákosi became a journalist.

After the end of 1869 and the merger between the Pesti Napló and Századunk, Rákosi left as editor and, with Mór Ráth, on 15 December 1869, they founded the Reform and was independently until 16 June 1875, when the Reform went into a pro-Deák party sentiment, and was grouped with talented young writers at the time, most notably Márkus István and István Toldy, but others were present.

In 1881, the Pesti Napló became divided when József Csukássy, along with more particularly those of the editorial board, called Rákosi to base the Budapesti Hírlap on 15 June 1881.

He had a confidential and intimate relationship with Publikumával, a sign of the immediate impact of a public purpose by collecting notable amounts could be raised.

The newspaper writers participated in the congresses in 1896 and the national memorial statues and tablets unveiling ceremony held commemorative speeches in Szombathely, Fürged, Győr, Sopron, Komárom, Budapest, Kaposvár, Pozsony, Kolozsvár, Arad, Zombor, Szeged, Debrecen, and Besztercebány.

Rákosi conducted a plethora of wide-ranging organizational work, in addition to operetta texts in Hungarian and historical dramas.

In addition to folk dramas, he also wrote high-level entertainment, being a public recruiter from the Hungarian theater collusion.

Rákosi was rejected by universal suffrage from the introduction of left-wing demand for the country's peace and territorial integrity that feared him.

He also played a major role in the so-called Bukovina Székelys of the Lower Danube resettlement, organised by the Csángó installation.

In July 1928 in London and in September 1928 in Venice, he discussed these memoirs with Lord Rothermere, as Mussolini was becoming a more present force in Italy.

The Hungarian regime change has not provided the truth behind his works, despite the fact that several major public and intellectual coterie could keep track among his predecessors.

An extensive oeuvre, however, is mostly totally unknown, and is nuanced today, so therefore it is not yet possible, but people have found distorted simplifications of his works for research.
