"Mihály Csokonai (full name Mihály Csokonai Vitéz; in Hungarian Csokonai Mihály or Csokonai Vitéz Mihály) (Hungarian: [ˈt͡ʃokonɒi ˈviteːz ˈmihaːj]) (17 November 1773 – 28 January 1805) was a Hungarian poet, a leading figure in the Hungarian literary revival of the Enlightenment.
Having been educated in Debrecen, where he was born, Csokonai was appointed while still very young to the professorship of poetry there. Shortly thereafter he was deprived of the post on account of the immorality of his conduct.
The remaining twelve years of his short life were passed in almost constant wretchedness, and he died in his native town, in his mother's house, when only thirty-one years of age." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.03.2022)
