ÉLIÁS TIBOR: Dobos C. József, a halhatatlan cukrász - Dobos könyvei

Dobos С. lózsef, 1907 lózsef С. Dobos, 1907 dai Ganz Villamossági gyárban. Súlyosan beteg feleségével együtt folytonos anyagi nehézséggel küszködtek. Az évtizedek óta periférián sínylődő költő élete utolsó éveiben testileg-lelkileg megrokkant, amihez az anyagiakon kívül jelentős mértékben hozzájárult a költői lét portant role in the creation of the book: In addition to this book, Dobos wrote fourteen other works, but he wrote all of the others in German!

The next book in the series was the Trilogie der Phantasie auf der Reise, published in 1906. Two books were published in 1907, Echo der Phantasie auf der Reise and N

achklenge der Phantasie auf der Reise. It would also be worth translating these books into Hungarian... Dobos's professional and literary success - and indeed his success in business - was a result of many years of selfless work, his professional knowledge, persistency and almost awkward precision.
