Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Mihály Vörösmarty was born on December 1, 1800 at Puszta-Nyék (now Kápolnásnyék), of a noble Roman Catholic family. His father was a steward of the Nádasdys.
From the age of 15 as a schoolboy, and later while studying law, he supported himself by private tutoring. Mihály was educated at Székesfehérvár by the Cistercians and at Pest by the Piarists.
In 1825 he published an epic poem, Zalán futása (“The Flight of Zalán”), describing the conquest of Hungary by Árpád. The epic has great artistic merit, but its resounding success was partly caused by the general patriotic upsurge of the period, which clamoured for a work describing the glorious past of the Hungarian nation.
In 1828 Vörösmarty became the full-time editor of a well-known magazine, the Tudományos Gyűjtemény, and he was the first Hungarian man of letters to make a living—a modest one—from literature. In 1830 he became the first member of the newly founded Hungarian Academy and produced a truly great work, Csongor és Tünde, a symbolic fairy-tale play that is reminiscent of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He married late, in 1843, and his wife, Laura Csajághy, inspired some beautiful poems, among which “A merengőhöz” (1843; “To a Day-Dreamer”) is outstanding. Having achieved fame, reasonable material comfort, and a happy marriage, Vörösmarty was in a position to look forward to a contented old age when the War of Independence (1848–49) shattered his life. An ardent partisan of Lajos Kossuth, he embraced the national cause and became a member of Parliament. During the repression that followed, Vörösmarty had to go into hiding and lived with his three children in great misery. His personal misfortune and the tribulation of his country affected his mind, and, though he was still able to produce some splendid poems, such as “Vén cigány” (1854; “The Old Gypsy”), he was unable to continue his former activity.
He moved back to Pest to be close to doctors, and died there, in the same house where Károly Kisfaludy had died twenty-five years before. He was buried in Kerepesi Cemetery.
He was a poet and dramatist who helped make the literature of Hungary truly Hungarian during the era (1825–49) of social reforms. By ridding Hungarian literature of overwhelming classical and German influence, he made it national not only in language but in spirit.
A monument by Ede Kallós, constructed in the 1900s, stands in Budapest in the square which bears his name.

His marriage in 1843 to Laura Csajághy inspired him to compose a new cycle of love poems. They had five children, including Béla and Ilona.
