Jeno Rejto (born Jeno Reich 1905, died 1943; pseudonyms: P. Howard, Gibson Lavery) was a Hungarian journalist, pulp fiction writer and playwright who died as a forced labourer during World War II. He was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, on March 29, 1905, and died in Evdakovo, Voronezh Oblast, Soviet Union (then under Axis occupation) on January 1, 1943. Despite the "pulp" nature of his writings, he is not only widely read in Hungary, but is also much appreciated by literary critics. It is a prevalent opinion that he lifted the genre to the level of serious art, and his works will long outlive him. For this release, Kern Andras reads, in Hungarian, his book The Three Musketeers in Africa, which tells the story of Csulok, Snki Alfonz, and Tusko Hopkins, the three legionaries of the French Foreign Legion who have been tasked with delivering an important letter to Marquis De Surenne and protecting a young lady through the desert and leading her to a safe place.
