"Sándor Márai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in
1900. He rose to fame as one of the leading literary novelists in
Hungary in the 1930's. Profoundly antifascist, he survived World War
II, but persecution by the Communists drove him from the country in
1948, first to Italy and then to the United States. Márai committed
suicide in San Diego in 1989. He is the author of a significant body
of work, which Knopf is translating into English."

"A celebrated Hungarian novelist of the 1930s, Márai survived the war
but was persecuted by the Communists after they came to power. His
books were suppressed, even destroyed, and he was forced to flee his
country in 1948. He died in San Diego in 1989, one year before the
neglected Embers was finally reprinted in his native land. This
reprint was discovered by the Italian writer and publisher Roberto
Calasso, and the subsequent editions have become international
bestsellers. All of Márai's novels are now slated for American
publication. --Regina Marler --This text refers to the Hardcover
edition."
