Lajos Nagy (5 February 1883 – 28 October 1954) was a Hungarian writer.[1] His work covered a number of genres, including travel literature.[2] "He came up with his brief, humoristic stories about animals in the beginning of the 1920s and in 1922 a collection of these short humoresques was published under the title Nonsensical Natural History (Képtelen természetrajz)."[3] He joined the Hungarian Communist Party in 1945 and is considered to be one of the prominent writers in the style of socialist realism in Hungary.
