Ferenc Herczeg

94 books9 followers
Ferenc Herczeg (born Franz Herzog, 22 September 1863, Versec, Hungarian Kingdom - 24 February 1954, Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian playwright and author who promoted conservative nationalist opinion in his country. He founded and edited the magazine Új Idők ("New Times") in 1895, which remained for half a century the literary magazine of the conservative upper and middle classes of Hungary. In 1896 he was elected to parliament and in 1901 became the president of the Petőfi Society. In the early '50-s he was deported from Budapest to the Hungarian GULAG and released in 1953 - after Stalin's death, when the labor camps were liquideted. He died soon, in the next year.

Didaktikus, unalmas és patetikus.
De legalább belerakták a NAT-ba.
Aki azt gondolja, hogy a fiatalok emiatt fognak magyar drámát olvasni, az meg van bolondulva.

Dedicated to Miklos and the brave Hungarian people.
Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing I must do is to thank you for the reception of my last review. Being honest with Goodreads users I didn't expect to have a single like, and more so considering the extent of it (I think it's the longest review ever written on Goodreads) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... many went ahead and liked it before I finished it, but it's the good side of having friends in goodreads, and the fan phenomenon :-). Anyway, and although what I have said is true I want to thank you, because I honestly expected much less, and it was very important to me, because of the current writers Juan Manuel de Prada https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is my favorite along with my admired Joseph Pearce, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and my friend Professor Manuel Alfonseca https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (whose books, and whose blog on science called divulciencia https://divulciencia.blogspot.com/ I recommend you to follow it very strongly), and I hope that my review of"Library in the Oasis" is the first of many.
The book I am going to talk about this time deals with two issues that a server is passionate about, and they are about Byzantium in particular its downfall. I think, I already torment goodreads users with some of my anecdotes. Among them, that I am a Byzantine. I already told you that due to my love for the Byzantine empire during the race, and seeing that in the history career unlike for example the English universities there was no subject dedicated to Byzantium in the history career I decided to take a subject of free configuration, which allowed me to choose subjects from other careers , but I did not have to move from the building of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, since this subject was taught in the career of Classical Philology and risking a lot I decided to choose it, and it was the best decision I made during the career, and of which I am most proud (on the other hand my biggest mistake was not to have chosen Germanic Mythology I attended this subject years later as a listener in the twilight of my academic life). I remember, when Dr. Juan Signes Codoñer arrived at the class, where he had to tell us how Byzantium fell into the hands of the Turks a server shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Over time Byzantium had become a part of me), and it is for that reason that I have always been saddened by the Turks' conquest of Constantinople, although this conquest was not yet consolidated until 1460 with the fall of the Despotate of the Morea, and Trebizond the last Byzantine city to fall. That is why I do not approve of the Islamist measures of Turkish President Tayip Erdogan (although for me it is something else) who has turned Hagia Sophia into a mosque in clear defiance of the relativistic and degraded West, which must oppose it. The second theme of this play by Ferenc Herczeg https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...# is a theme that has always fascinated me about the twilight, and the fall of civilizations, how empires die, and how societies degenerate. More than Oswald Spengler https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... I am closer to the theses of the American Will Durant who has influenced so many men. Empires fall, because they were already dead previously. They had been destroyed inwardly. My followers already know that one of my favorite films is The Fall of the Roman Empire by Anthony Mann which was based and supported by the theories of Will Durant, in fact, Samuel Bronston the producer is a relevant figure of Hollywood, although it bows to the progressive positions of Hollywood, which have now become a tyranny and a form of despotism on the part of what is called the culture of political correctness. All in all this scene in the film is wonderful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecMfU... , https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film9... in fact for me is infinitely superior, to the film that was its heir and that I end up taking the honeys of success, which was called Gladiator. Without The Fall of the Roman Empire we would never have had Gladiator.
But we're distracting unfortunately I haven't read so much about the Fall of the Byzantine Empire, although we should actually call it the Eastern Roman Empire, because it's the continuation of the Roman Empire. It's actually the Roman Empire. What happens is that as we see history from the point of view of the West we have tended to think that the Roman Empire ended in the year 476, when it was not. Since the Roman Empire ends in the fifteenth century in the decade of the year 1450-1460 destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. I must begin this review by telling how I knew this work and how it came into my hands. I personally was already familiar, because I was very interested (increasingly seeing how our history evolves) in Central Europe, and in its literature. I have in my room a book of history of literature very good although of leftist tendencies edited by the Garzanti and in it appear names of writers not well known today. Some deserve a resurgence and the case of the writer Ferenc Herczeg, a writer to whom he had previously read a jewel edited by the publishing house Word the "Gyurkovicks" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... https://www.palabra.es/ . Although I had a lot of fun with this wonderful costumbrista novel what caught my attention were the plays of Herczeg in particular this one. I wondered if I would deal with the Byzantine empire. One day I went through Maxtor, and I saw a second-hand book edited by Aguilar, because whatever the left says during the Franco regime was edited very well. Especially Plaza Janes, Aguilar, Espasa and other publishers, which of course contradict the image of Páramo Cultural that they want us to believe. The book in question was an anthology of plays written by Hungarian writers including authors of the stature such as Ferenc Molnar https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (in fact Lilliom https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... I have also read it, although I liked it rather less than Byzantium), Zsigmond Moricz with his work is good to death (I have interrupted the readings of Hungarian works, porque unfortunately the plays were not in Goodreads, although Zsigmond Moricz's novel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... if you have read or seen Rattigan's play The Winslow Boy https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... you will see moricz's play influence himor much), the other works belong to Lajos Zilahy https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (perhaps the best-known Hungarian writer in the West, and belonging to Calvinist Hungary together with Miklos Banffly https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... which in turn was edited by the publishing house Libros el Asteroide), Áron Tamasi https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... with his work Rainbow deceptive, and Laszlo Nemeth https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... with sor Galileo work. https://www.iberlibro.com/Teatro-cont... It could be said that there is the best of Magyar literature, although perhaps I missed some name like Geza Garndonyi https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... which has as its most famous book the story of some children survivors of the battle of Mohacs and who escape from the Turks, it is also appropriate to put in this list Sandor Marai https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Sandor Brody https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Dezso Somory, Menyhert Lengyel https://www.goodreads.com/author/show..., Lajos Biro https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Milahy Babits https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Bela Balazs https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Kalman Csatho https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Janos Bokay https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Among Catholics it is worth mentioning Sandor Syk , Miklos Kallay https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , Karoly A. Berczely, Kalman Harsanyi (this was a Calvinist), but his tragedy of attila's children, Ellak, Mihaly Foldi https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is well known and it is not advisable to forget writers such as Laszlo Passuth https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (I am eager to read his novels such as Born of Purple, and "Poker of Popes") https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... =true&qid=6aXfncbyWq&rank=1 (born of purple is another Byzantine-themed novel, which tells the story of the last great Byzantine emperor Manuel I, and his relationship with the Hungarians, and the Crusaders).
Having given an outline, I think it's time to talk about the work at hand. It seems that in Hungary this issue would have been dealt with beforehand. I had only found two novels. One I'll mention right now, and the other will appear as I write this review. I was referring to Ben Hur author Lew Wallace's novel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... "Why did Constantinople fall?" or The Prince of India. This work by Lew Wallace gave me mixed emotions on the one hand it was exciting, since the historical fact is, but it had two flaws. The first was the odious protagonist the Prince of India, who was inspired by Astaverus the wandering Jew, and was practically immortal, and of course hated Christianity, and sought the fall of Byzantium. I do not know if I have said it, but I say it I am not part of mixing genres, in this case the fantastic with the historical, as already happened to Baudolino of Umberto Eco https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and I did not like that it fell into what Walter Scott fell in his"Talisman" of Sir Walter Scott, where it gave way to an image that has never been erased from the collective imaginary of the West. By presenting a Saladin, tolerant, and chivalrous, more Christian, than the Christians themselves. Which is certainly a distant echo of the myth of the three cultures. In fact Kaiser Wilhelmin II even though the Turks were persecuting christians at the time. I strongly disagree with Dan Jones' History of the Crusades https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... but in Saladin's case it was one of the few things I agreed with Dan Jones on. In presenting him as a calculating monarch, with almost as many defeats as victories, hattin was more motivated by the mistakes of his enemies than by his talent, and that he fought almost as much more against Muslims than against Christians. First of all the crusades, and it must be said did not interest the Arabs as Amin Maalouf showed us until European historians began to give the ember to muslims https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... of course much of the hatred of Islam for the west has been fed by Marxist historiography, such as the anticolonial historiography Derrida, Edward W. Said https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and us as fools comprándolit is the speeches especially in the university fields. To end with Saladin I am much more in agreement with the image given of him by Cecelia Holland and Henry Rider Hagard in their respective novels"Jerusalem" and"The Brotherhood" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The number of characters was sooooo unnecessary… it was incredibly boring and the singular redeeming quality of this play was the girlbosses. But like this man doesn’t even deserve my hate ffs. R.I.P. Herczeg Ferenc you would have loved *rb*n v*kt*r.

Azért Herczeg Ferencnek meg kell adni hogy ez nem olyan rossz mint a Bánk bán... de a jótól messze van. Nagyjából a tűrhető kategória szélén ül.

A cselekmény elfogadható, de Konstantin-Herma házasság a végén egy kicsit...hogy is mondjam, fúj. Egyszerűen csak fúj.

Annyira 2D-s az összes szereplő hogy a papírt iriggyé tehetnék. Nagyon sokan is vannak, így nincs esélye egyiküknek sem bármilyen jellemfejlődésre (persze, Konstantin "nagyként" hal meg de annak is a kivitelezése valahogy íztelenre sikerült).

Egyszerűen nem tudom elképzelni hogy ez a darab színpadon izgalmasabb lenne.

Kimi bölümleri hayli nahoş ve tarihi olduğunun tam tersi olarak gösteren bir bakış açışıyla kaleme alınmasına rağmen akıcılığıyla bir çırpıda bitti. Uzun zamandır altını çizmek istediğim güçlü edebi cümlelere bu sıklıkta rastlamıyordum.
