Oskar Jelinek, a renowned writer of considerable talent, entered this world on January 22, 1886, in the picturesque city of Brünn, which was then a part of the vast and sprawling empire of Austria-Hungary.
Throughout his illustrious career, Jelinek gained widespread recognition for his remarkable literary works, including the celebrated novel "Thy Neighbor's Wife", which was first published in 1953, as well as the equally acclaimed "Valnocha, der Koch", which was released in 1962.
In his personal life, Jelinek was married to the lovely Hedwig Müller, with whom he shared a deep and abiding love.
Tragically, Jelinek's life was cut short when he passed away on October 12, 1949, in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Los Angeles, California, USA.
