Gyula Illyés (2 November 1902 – 15 April 1983) was a Hungarian poet and novelist.
He was one of the so-called népi ("from the people") writers, named so because they aimed to show – propelled by strong sociological interest and left-wing convictions – the disadvantageous conditions of their native land.
