You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Lajos Zilahy''' (27 March 1891 − 1 December 1974) was a Hungarian novelist and playwright.  Born in [[Salonta|Nagyszalonta]], [[Austria-Hungary]] (now [[Salonta]], [[Romania]]), he studied law at the University of Budapest before serving in the Austro-Hungarian army during the [[World War I|First World War]],<ref name="Gotlieb">((cite web |url=http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/archives-cc/app/details.php?id=8847&return=http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/archives-cc/app/browse.php?letter=Z |title=Zilahy, Lajos |work=Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center |publisher=Boston University |accessdate=2008-12-27 |archivedate=2008-06-10 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080610022357/http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/archives-cc/app/details.php?id=8847&return=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bu.edu%2Fphpbin%2Farchives-cc%2Fapp%2Fbrowse.php%3Fletter%3DZ |url-status=dead ))</ref> in which he was wounded on the Eastern Front – an experience which later informed his bestselling novel ''Two Prisoners'' (''Két fogoly'').

He was also active in film. His 1928 novel ''Something Is Drifting on the Water'' (''Valamit visz a víz'') was filmed twice. His play ''[[The General (play)|The General]]'' was filmed as ''[[The Virtuous Sin]]'' in 1930 and ''[[The Rebel (1931 film)|The Rebel]]'' in 1931.

Edited ''Híd'' (The Bridge) 1940–1944, an art periodical. Opposed both fascism and communism. In 1939, he established a film studio named Pegazus, which operated until the end of 1943.<ref>((Cite web |title=Lajos Zilahy |url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0956391/ |access-date=2022-11-16 |website=IMDb))</ref> Pegazus produced motion pictures and Zilahy directed some of them. In 1944, his play ''Fatornyok'' (''Wooden Towers'') was banned. Gave all assets to government treasury in early 1940s for use in educating youth in world peace, which led to the establishment of ''Kitűnőek Iskolája''.

He wrote the 1943 screenplay himself and co-directed it with Gusztáv Oláh in Hungary under the international English title ''Something Is in the Water.'' The [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] screenplay was written by Imre Gyöngyössy, [[Ján Kadár]] and [[Elmar Klos]], and directed by the latter two with a [[Serbs|Serbian]], [[Slovak people|Slovak]], [[Hungarian people|Hungarian]], [[Czechs|Czech]] and [[United States|American]] cast on location at the [[Danube]] in [[Slovakia]] under the title ''Desire Called Anada'' in Czech (''Touha zvaná Anada,'' 1969) and Slovak (''Túžba zvaná Anada''), with ''Adrift'' as its English title.

Lajos Zilahy became the Secretary General of [[Hungarian PEN]] but his liberal views placed him at odds, first, with the right-wing [[Miklós Horthy|Horthy]] regime and later with the post-war Communist government. Zilahy left Hungary in 1947,<ref name="Gotlieb" /> spending the rest of his life in exile in the US, where he completed ''A Dukay család'', a trilogy of novels (''Century in Scarlet, The Dukays, The Angry Angel'') chronicling the history of a fictitious Hungarian aristocratic family from the Napoleonic era to the middle of the twentieth century. He died in [[Novi Sad]], [[Serbia]], then part of [[Yugoslavia]].

Several of his novels have been translated into Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish (mainly), Swedish, and Turkish, and some of his plays into German, Italian, and Spanish. An edition of his short stories is available in Spanish and some of his short stories have been translated into Bulgarian, Croatian, English, Estonian, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish, and some of his poems into German.
