The Nameless Castle

Névtelen vár #1-2

by Mór Jókai, Sara Elisabeth Siegrist Boggs (Translator)

The Academy of Arts and Sciences, founded by Szécheni, offered a prize for the best drama, and Jokai won it. He was then seventeen, for careers began early in olden times. When twenty-one his first novel, "Work Days," met with great applause; other romances quickly followed, and, as they dealt with the social and political tendencies that fanned the revolution into flame two years later, their success was instantaneous. His true representations of Hungarian life and character, his passionate love of liberty, his lofty idealism for his crushed and lethargic country, aroused a great wave of patriotism like a call to arms and consecrated him to work with his pen for the freedom of the common people. -- From Neltje Blanchan's Introductory Sketch of the Author

Reviews

[Góczán Judit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Megnéztem a sorozatot és olyan titokzatosnak találtam a történetet és a szereplők egyéni sorsát és a történelemben játszott szerepét, hogy feltétlenül el kellett olvasnom a könyvet. Nem bántam meg, bár a filmes feldolgozás nem mindenben követte az eredeti regényt.
