György Faludy, poet, writer, translator and Nobel Prize nominee for literature, one of Hungary's greatest literary figures of the 20th century, has died at the age of 95 at his home in Budapest, local newswire MTI said on Saturday. 
 
Faludy is most widely known for poetry and prose about his experiences, in particular the novel "My Happy Days in Hell," about the infamous Recsk labour camp, where he was sent to on trumped up charges in 1950. First published in English in 1962, the book was considered a precursor to Alexander Solzhenitsyn's accounts of the Soviet concentration camps (“The Gulag Archipelago").
