	Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Esterhazy was the perpetrator of the crime of which Alfred Dreyfus had been wrongly accused and convicted.
		Born in Paris, Esterhazy belonged to an illustrious Hungarian family, a branch of which had established itself in France at the end of the 17th century, and the head of which had organized there a regiment of hussars.
		There being a dearth of officers after the catastrophe of Sedan, Esterhazy was able to pass muster as a French lieutenant, then as a captain, and went through the campaigns of the Loire and of the Jura.

		Esterhazy's approach to the first half was to tell the family's story as ancedotes involving a score of family patriarchs.
		Perhaps Esterhazy wanted to keep his novel from seeming like a history book but I'm afraid the actual effect of his approach will be to send readers scurrying to their bookshelves for an encyclopedia, as they try to look up a particular battle or Hungarian leader in order to put a given vignette in context.
		Esterhazy touchingly shows us his father's struggle to adapt to life in a world where he'd gone from being the heir to one of Hungary's biggest fortunes, to having to live in a one-room dwelling with his family and work a series of menial jobs, the only ones the state allowed him to have.

	Peter Esterhazy Biography / Biography of Peter Esterhazy Biography Biography
		One of the most prominent contemporary authors in Hungarian literature, Peter Esterhazy is acknowledged as the leader of the so-called middle generation of writers—those born in the decade between World War II and the October 1956 revolution —and is considered by many to be the finest living Hungarian prose writer.
		Throughout his career Esterhazy has generated controversy concerning the quality and interpretation of his work, but there is no doubt of his role in almost single-handedly changing mainstream Hungarian fiction by rejecting the traditional conventions of narrative prose in favor of the linguistic and stylistic techniques of literary postmodernism.
		The Esterhazy name has been among the most prominent in Hungary since the early seventeenth century, when the family became one of the leading clans of the aristocracy in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

	Family first, history second
		The result is a seductive sense that the author is the son of all Esterhazys past and the scion of all the contradictory currents in Hungarian and Esterhazy life over their centuries, whether brave, loyal, treacherous, unhinged or disengaged.
		We meet a single, historical Esterhazy father, at last; a son (the author/narrator); and a kind of unholy Esterhazy ghost, the author/narrator's grandfather.
		Then, with a jolt, history itself reclaims the reader, though evidently not the author, when the speaker in Esterhazy's novel calmly begins to refer to his communist antagonist as "the Jew Sterk," a form of address soon to be baptized in the blood of millions.

		The contract between the Esterhazy's and Joseph Haydn secured the position of the old Werner.
		One of the conditions of Haydn’s employment in 1761 was that he set a good example for the other musicians; he had to behave himself excellently and he had to resolve the problems between the musicians.

		The Esterhazy family consisted of many branches, but it was the princely branch which thereafter was the wealthiest magnate family in Hungary.
		In this respect the present study serves as an important corrective to some fashionable trends in social history which would underestimate or even dismiss the impact of central government policies formulated by traditional elites, much as this dynamic tended to be overestimated in older traditional schools of historiography.
		More than a valuable study of the Esterhazy family and the inhabitants of its estates in the eighteenth century, this book is therefore also an important analysis of the impact of enlightened absolutism at the local level.

		It is a crime that those people who wish to see a generous France take her place as leader of all the free and just nations are being accused of fomenting turmoil in the country, denounced by the very plotters who are conniving so shamelessly to foist this miscarriage of justice on the entire world.
		Esterhazy told the scandal hungry press (L’Echo de Paris, 18 November 1897) that he had received messages, including a letter signed “Espérance” [Hope], from a mysterious veiled lady who was trying to save him from his enemies.
		Major Alexandre-Alfred Ravary, the rapporteur for the staged Esterhazy trial, concluded in his pre-trial report stating the Esterhazy case that allegations against Esterhazy were proven irrelevant and that the case should be dismissed.

		The lives of his immediate clan were not unique, Esterhazy seems to say now; this family survived crueler periods and worse peril, and its story is only a tiny part of the vast canvas of human atrocity and absurdity.
		There are hints that several of these chapters are extracts from memoirs of Esterhazy's grandfather, a prominent figure in interwar Hungary and a highly placed operator in the wartime puppet state.

		For centuries the Esterhazys were known as patrons of the arts: the family hosted the composer Joseph Hadyn in the 18th century.
		But the Esterhazys lost everything under Communism, and their name and upper-class background made them a particular target for the vengeful functionaries of Budapest's Moscow-backed secret police.

		Major Esterhazy admitted much later, while in self-imposed exile in England that he was the one who had written the "bordereau" used to incriminate Dreyfus.
		However, Esterhazy was never condemned by the French for espionage or for the part he had played in the framing of Captain Dreyfus.
		Alfred Dreyfus was rushed to judgment and unjustly condemned because War Minister General Mercier had believed the falsehoods concocted by Sandherr and Henry, and because some of the graphology experts had inaccurately concluded that the author of the "borderau" was Captain Dreyfus.

		She Loves Me is Peter Esterhazy's paean to women: beautiful and ugly, kind and nasty, fat and bony, monogamous and promiscuous, seductive, negative, rebellious, and voracious.
		In ninety-seven short chapters this seductive novel contemplates love and desire and sex and hate, all from the point of view of a manly narrator who considers himself a great and successful lover, a womanizer, a man who may - or may not - be in love with all of the women of the world.
		With his characteristic verbal pyrotechnics, the serenely jaded Esterhazy proves that there will always be another romance, and that love and hate spring from the same inexhaustible font.

		Moving from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, Esterhazy takes the reader on a fascinating European journey of the imagination, down the Danube River, through Vienna, Budapest, and beyond the delta where the mighty river empties into the sea.

		The accusatory instrument filed by prosecutors focused on only one sentence of Zola's article, wherein he had asserted that the tribunal that found Esterhazy not guilty had known he was guilty and had acquitted him on command.
		The charges plainly were an attempt by the government, spurred on by the military, to silence a heroic man who was bravely laboring to undo a hideous miscarriage of justice.
		Even though the evidence introduced at the trial by the defense made it obvious that Esterhazy, not Dreyfus, was the traitor, and that the military was covering up the truth, Zola was convicted and sentenced to the maximum penalty of a year in jail.
