Hronský, Jozef Cíger oldala, Angol életrajz
Életrajz
Jozef Cíger-Hronský (1896-1961) is one of the few significant Slovak novelists to have been translated into English. His narrative method combines depictive realism, focussed on rural life, with lyrical expressivity in depicting the symbiosis of man and nature. In Jozef Mak (Jozef Mak, 1933), set in the pre-war era, and depicting the inner world of a lumberjack and railway navvy, Mak is both the apotheosis of ordinary submissiveness and passivity, and of simple natural resilience, the resilience of grass which "withstands more than anything in the world".
