"Az én életem regénye" by Mór Jókai is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the author's personal experiences, focusing especially on his involvement in the Hungarian War of Independence and the revolutionary movements of the mid-19th century. Rather than a novel of fiction, it stands as a vivid, semi-autobiographical historical account, reflecting both on Jókai's life and on the turbulent events that shaped his era. The book delves into interactions with major historical figures such as Kossuth and Petőfi and portrays the effect of the revolution on both public life and the world of writers and artists. The opening of the book plunges the reader into Jókai's memories of the Hungarian War of Independence, depicting how extraordinary events and powerful individuals shaped not only the fate of the nation but his personal destiny as well. Early scenes follow Jókai as he volunteers for the national guard, undertakes a harrowing mission to deliver amnesty to the infamous outlaw Rózsa Sándor, and interacts closely with revolutionary leaders like Kossuth. The narrative also describes the chaotic movement of government and civilians during military retreats, the impact of defeats on personal and national morale, and the struggles of displaced artists and intellectuals. Through these accounts, the memoir brings forward not just political and military history, but the emotional turmoil, shattered hopes, and small victories of everyday life in revolutionary Hungary.
