Árpád Tóth - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Árpád Tóth
Tóth circa 1907
Born	14 April 1886 Arad, Austria-Hungary
Died	7 November 1928(1928-11-07) (aged 42) Budapest, Hungary
Nationality	Hungarian
Occupation(s)	Poet, translator

Árpád Tóth (14 April 1886 – 7 November 1928) was a Hungarian poet^[1] and translator.^[2]

Tóth went to secondary school (gymnasium) in Debrecen and then studied German and Hungarian at the University of Budapest. In 1907, his poems began to appear in the papers A Hét and Vasárnapi Újság and after 1908 in Nyugat. In 1911, he became a theater critic for the paper Debreceni Nagy Újság.^{[citation needed]}

In 1913, he became a tutor to a wealthy family and received a little income from writing but still lived in poverty.^[3] Tuberculosis led him to rest at the Svedlér Sanitorium in the Tatra Mountains.

During the period of the revolutionary government after World War I, he became secretary of the Vörösmarty Academy, but lost the position and couldn't find new work after the government's fall.^{[citation needed]} He remained poor and sick with tuberculosis for the rest of his life, succumbing to the disease in Budapest in 1928.^[4] His prolonged suffering led him to consider suicide at one point – although he did join the staff of Az Est in 1921.^{[citation needed]}

In Debrecen, a secondary school was named after him. In April 2011, the Hungarian National Bank issued a commemorative silver coin celebrating the 125th anniversary of the poet's birth.^[5]

Works

He was a major lyric poet and contributed to the Nyugat School. His core themes focused on fleeting happiness and resignation.

He translated Milton, Oscar Wilde, Shelley, Keats, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Gautier, Maupassant, and Chekhov.^[6]
