Malloy Sandor's youth began in Germany. In 1919, he left Kausau and studied at the Leipzig School of Journalism. In Germany, he realized his literary dream and became a columnist for the Frankfurter Zeitung along with famous writers such as Thomas Mann and Theodor Adorno. Thereafter, he traveled throughout Europe, to East Asia, and finally returned to Budapest. For ten years, he was a traveler, writer and journalist. He gazed at the European continent between the two world wars with a calm and rational eye. He glimpsed the twilight moment of civilization through the prosperous surface, and revealed the decadent dark side hidden by beauty: the decline of humanistic traditions, the disintegration of moral ethics, and the disappearance of spiritual homeland. He also recalled the lost world of yesterday with his fiery and sensual pen and fiery sincerity, making his words a lasting reminder of time and history, leaving a testimony for the era behind him. From leaving a foreign land to returning home, it begins with exploration and ends with enlightenment. Malloy experienced the loneliness and confusion of wandering, the uninhibitedness and romance of youth, the friendship and love across classes, and finally confirmed and shouldered his "mission as a Hungarian writer." What he tells is not only his personal destiny, but also the destiny of a generation of European intellectuals.
