About This Item
Budapest: Genius, 1929 Quarto 27x19.5 cm, wrappers, 30(2)pp. Tibor Déry was a novelist who aligned with Kassák's MA group in both Budapest and later Vienna, and lived peripatetically until settling in Hungary in 1935. Like Kassák, he was an outsider of leftist vision, eventually becoming a communist and suffering suppression under both fascist and communist régimes. He was imprisoned after the 1956 revolution. He is acknowledged as a 20th-century great writer winning praise from György Lukács as "The greatest depictor of human beings in our time." In this work, Déry creates a surrealist narrative of rebellion against society, the universe, and reality itself. A final statement in it declares, "The truth is a lie!" After this, Déry joined Kassak's Dokumentum group in Budapest and leaned toward constructivist and humanist work in the next decade, in line with the Munka vision. Cover design by Lajos Kassák. OCLC finds only one institutional holding in North America.
