Milán Füst

Died in 1967

Milán Füst, born Milán Fürst in Budapest on 17 July 1888 into an impoverished lower-middle-class Jewish family, lost his father early, studied law and economics and taught at a commercial school. He published in the Nyugat from his first writings and became close to Kosztolányi and Karinthy. Removed from teaching after the fall of the Republic of Councils, he lived by his pen; in 1928, a nervous breakdown took him to a sanatorium in Baden-Baden. A professor of aesthetics after the war and winner of the Kossuth Prize in 1948, he died in Budapest on 26 July 1967.
