MAURUS JÓKAMór JókaiI([ˈmoːr ˈjoːkɒi], born Móric Jókay de Ásva; 18 February 1825 – 5 May 1904), outside Hungary also known as Maurus Jokai, was a Hungarian dramatist and novelist.

Bain, R. Nisbet (Robert Nisbet), 1854-1909 was a British historian and linguist who worked for the British Museum. Translator.

Excerpt
"Szegény Gazdagok" is, perhaps, the most widely known of all Maurus Jókai's masterpieces. It was first published at Budapest, in 1860, in four volumes, and has been repeatedly translated into German, while good Swedish, Danish, Dutch and Polish versions sufficiently testify to its popularity on the Continent. Essentially a tale of incident and adventure, it is one of the best novels of that inexhaustible type with which I am acquainted.
