Jenő Rákosi (born Jenő Kremsner; 12 November 1842, Acsád, Kingdom of Hungary – 8 February 1929, Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian writer, journalist, editor, and theater director. He was a member of the House of Magnates and the Kisfaludy Society, corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and honorary member of the Petőfi Association.
His family includes doctor Béla Rákosi, writer Viktor Rákosi, and actress Szidi Rákosi.
Life
He was the son of János Kremsner and Anna Vogel, who were Danube Swabians. His father previously lived in the villages of Ukk and Dabronc (Ötvöspuszta), where he was a steward of the Szegedy family with a small estate of his own. His family changed their name to Rákosi in 1867. By the 1850s, the family had settled in the village of Türje, where his childhood home had a plaque installed by the Danubian Cultural Association in 1942.
Rákosi went to school first in Sárvár, then in Kőszeg, from where he was accepted into a Benedictine Roman Catholic high school in Sopron. There, he was taught by Jeromos Lóskay and Flórián Hollósy and, under the pressure of Hungarian political movements, formed a self-study circle with like-minded students, initially in German, but from 1859, entirely in Hungarian. Here he mainly wrote short stories, but later also started penning plays. During his high school years, Rákosi's parents took him to Graz and introduced him to the German theatre scene. He was so impressed by a piece from Birchpfeifer that, upon returning home, he tried to reproduce it, translating to Hungarian from memory, and using tree branches to recreate the decorations.
