Moritz (English spelling) Móricz Zsigmond

Japanese: モーリツ - もーりつ(英語表記)Móricz Zsigmond
Moritz (English spelling) Móricz Zsigmond

Hungarian novelist. Born in a rural area, he studied theology and law before becoming a newspaper reporter. His short story "Seven Kreuzers" (1908) made him a literary sensation, and he transformed from naturalism into realism with long rural-themed novels such as "Muddy Gold" (1911) and "Behind God" (1911). In all of his works, such as "Uri Muri" (1928), which depicts the life of the middle class trapped by convention, and "Happy People" (1935), which tells of the impoverished lives of peasants, we can sense the author's warm eye, which does not alienate people. He is said to be the father of modern Hungarian prose literature and the founder of Hungarian realism. His other works include the historical novel "Transylvania" trilogy (1922-35) and the autobiographical children's book "Be Good Till Death" (1921).

Japanese:

ハンガリーの小説家。農村出身で、神学、法学を学んだのち新聞記者となる。短編『七クロイツァー』(1908)で一躍文壇に認められ、『泥金』(1911)、『神の背後で』(1911)などの農村をテーマとした長編で、自然主義からリアリズム作家に脱皮した。因習にとらわれた中産階級の生活を描く『ウリ・ムリ』(1928)や、農民の窮乏生活を物語る『幸せな人』(1935)など、いずれにも人間を突き放さない、作者の暖かい目が感じられる。ハンガリー近代散文学の祖であり、ハンガリー・リアリズムの創始者ともいわれる。ほかに歴史小説『トランシルバニア』三部作(1922~35)、自伝的児童文学『死に至るまで善良であれ』(1921)などの作品もある。
