About Endre Ady

Endre Ady (Hungarian: diósadi Ady András Endre, archaic English: Andrew Ady; 22 November 1877 – 27 January 1919) was a turn-of-the-century Hungarian poet and journalist. Regarded by many as the greatest Hungarian poet of the 20th century, he was noted for his steadfast belief in social progress and development and for his poetry's exploration of fundamental questions of the modern European experience: love, temporality, faith, individuality, and patriotism. The author and poet Mariska Ady (1888–1977) was a niece of Endre Ady. On 22 March 1896, he published his first poem in the Zilah newspaper Szilágy.
