i mentioned Frigyes Karinthy earlier in this thread. i found a couple of texts by him online, in english translations.

it is uncertain whether these translations are in the public domain or not so i don't know whether i can upload them here, but in the meantime, you can read them online :
Please, Sir ! description from the bibliography here :
Quote:
A novel; an extremely humorous account of a schoolboy's life, it is a perennial favorite in Hungary.
(should interest Harry, at the least !)
there is also a short story, The Circus, in this collection of Hungarian short stories.

i have not yet read either of them, but as i said the other books i read by Karinthy were eminently worthwhile.
