His first successes were the satirical "Göre Gábor" letters on rural life, works which he later repudiated. Gárdonyi's career as a writer started off when he began writing for magazines and newspapers in the mid-1880s. He married Mária Molnár in 1885, but their marriage was unhappy and they separated in 1892.
He graduated at a college for teachers and worked for some years as a teacher and Catholic cantor. Gárdonyi was born in Agárdpuszta, Kingdom of Hungary, the son of a machinist on the estate of an aristocrat in Western Hungary.
Although he wrote a range of works, he had his greatest success as a historical novelist, particularly with Eclipse of the Crescent Moon and Slave of the Huns. Géza Gárdonyi, born Géza Ziegler (Aug– October 30, 1922) was a Hungarian writer and journalist.
