約卡伊(Mór Jókai，1825年2月18日-1904年5月5日），19世紀匈牙利最重要的小說家。他是個多產作家，1894-1898年間出版的文集就多達100卷，大量的新聞作品尚不計在內。其早年作品如《工作日》(Hétköznapok,1845)，流露出法國浪漫主義的影響，但是，一些成熟的小說卻更反映出現實和個人經歷。《一個匈牙利富豪》(Egy magyar nábob,1853-1854)
Egy Magyar Nábob, 1850; engl. A Hungarian Nabob, New York : DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY 1899[4]
"Török világ Magyarországon" (Turkish World in Hungary), 1852 (in English: The Slaves of the Padishah - translated by R. Nisbet Bain, 1902) (**)
Padeshah, Padshah, Padishah or Badishah (Persian: پادشاه, Turkish: padişah) is a superlative royal title, composed of the Persianpād "master" and the widespread shāh "king", which was adopted by several monarchs claiming the highest rank, roughly equivalent to the ancient Persian notion of "The Great" or "Great King", and later adopted by post-Achaemenid and Christian Emperors. ItsArabized pronunciation as Badshah was used by Mughal emperors, and Bashah or Pasha was used by Ottoman Sultans.
和《金人》(Az arany ember,1873)Az arany ember (A Man of Gold, translated into English, among others, under the title The Man with the Golden Touch), ，是他處理當代匈牙利題材的兩部最主要的小說。
Bain was a fluent linguist who could use over twenty languages. Besides translating a number of books he also used his skills to write learned books on foreign people and folklore. Bain was a frequent contributor to the Encyclopædia Britannica. His contributions were biographies and varied from Andrew Aagensen to Aleksander Wielopolski. He taught himself Hungarian in order that he could read Mór Jókai in the original after first reading him in German. He translated from Finnish, Danish and Russian and also tackled Turkish authors via Hungarian. He was the most prolific translator into English from Hungarian in the nineteenth century. He married late and died young after publishing a wide range of literature from or about Europe.[1]
