IZUZETNO RETKO!

Franz Theodor Csokor (6 September 1885 – 5 January 1969) was an Austrian author and dramatist, particularly well known for his expressionist dramas. His most successful and best-known piece is 3. November 1918, about the downfall of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. In many of his works, Csokor deals with themes of antiquity and Christianity.
Life

Csokor was born into a respectable middle-class family in Vienna; the name Csokor is Hungarian and means `bunch [of flowers]`. In his youth, he began studying courses in art history, but dropped out. From early on he felt a calling to be a dramatist, and composed his first pieces before World War I. Csokor spent 1913–14 in Saint Petersburg, where he was drafted as a soldier in the war. He would later be employed at the Austrian War Archives in Vienna. From 1922 to 1928, Csokor worked as a dramaturge at the Raimundtheater and the Deutsches Volkstheater in Vienna.

From 1933, he was a convinced opponent of National Socialism; he was among the signatories of a statement against National Socialism at the PEN congress in Dubrovnik of that year. In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, he emigrated voluntarily. He spent World War II in Poland, Romania and Hungary before ending up in Italy after the fall of Mussolini in 1944, where he lived in Rome. There, he worked for the BBC. Despite travel restrictions in place at the time, Csokor returned to Vienna in 1946, dressed in a British uniform.

During the Allied occupation of Austria which lasted until 1955, Csokor settled in the British sector of Vienna, working as a freelance journalist for newspapers such as the Wiener Zeitung. In 1947, he became president of the Austrian PEN Club, in which he remained an active member until well into his old age; in 1968, he became vice-president of International PEN. After his death, the Austrian PEN Club named a literary award, the Franz-Theodor-Csokor-Preis, after him in 1970.

A convinced humanist, Csokor spoke up in his dramas for peace, freedom and human rights. His creative life was also closely connected with the labour movement. He died in Vienna in 1969, and is buried in a grave of honour in the Zentralfriedhof.[1] The Csokorgasse, a street in Vienna, was named after him in 1975. In 1994, the Austrian Post Office published a special stamp in his honour.
