   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Molnár, Ferenc (1878–1952)

Hungarian novelist and playwright. His most successful play, Liliom 1909, is a study of a circus barker (a person who calls out to attract the attention of members of the public), adapted as the musical Carousel. Others include The Devil 1907 and The Good Fairy 1930. His novels include Paul Street Boys 1907, a sensitive study of childhood.

Molnár was born in Budapest and studied at Geneva University. His plays have always had a higher reputation in England and the USA than in Hungary, where The Paul Street Boys is considered his best work. His autobiography, Companion in Exile, appeared 1951.
