Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FAY, ANDRAS (17861864) , Hungarian poet and author, was born on the 3oth of May 1786, at Kohany in the county of Zemplin, and was educated for the law at the
Protestant
  college cf Sarospatak. His Mesa (Fables), the first edition of which appeared at Vienna in 1820, evinced his
powers
  of
satire
  and invention, and won him the well-merited applause of his country-men. These fables, which, on account of their originality and simplicity, caused Fay to be regarded as the Hungarian
Aesop
 ,were translated into German by Petz (Raab, 1825), and partly into
English
  by E. D. Butler, Hungarian Poems and Fables (London, 1877). Fay wrote also numerous poems, the
chief
  of which are to be found in the collections Bokreta (Nosegay) (Pest, 1807), and Fris Bokreta (Fresh Nosegay) (Pest, 1818). He also composed plays and romances and tales. In 1835 Fay was elected to the Hungarian
diet
 , and was for a time the
leader
  of the opposition party. It is to him that the Pest Savings Bank owes its origin, and he was one of the
chief
  founders of the Hungarian National theatre. He died on the 26th of July 1864. His earlier works were collected at Pest (18431844, 8 vols.). The most noteworthy of his later works is a humorous novel entitled favor orvos es Bakator Ambrus szolgdia (favor the
Doctor
  and his servant
Ambrose
  Bakator), (Pest 1855, 2 vols.).
