Jeno Rejto (1905-1943) was a journalist, prolific author of cabaret skits, and a steadfast practitioner of comic thrillers with unforgettable characters and one-liners that together have become part and parcel of Hungarian literary folklore. Delightfully grotesque parodies of the detective novels that had their heyday at the time, Rejto wrote most of his books in the 1930s under the pen-name of P. Howard. The Lost Battleship is one of Rejto's most popular novels. It is read here by Hungarian actor Kern Andras.
