This historical novel by Mór Jókai explores the life of Mátyás Ráby in the late eighteenth century. The text provides a detailed look at the social and legal landscape of Pest and Buda before they became a unified city. As a learner of Hungarian, you will encounter nineteenth-century literary prose, which features complex sentence structures and a rich, somewhat archaic vocabulary. The narrative focuses on bureaucratic struggles and historical atmosphere, making it a demanding but rewarding read for those interested in Hungarian history.

Questions about this book
What level of Hungarian do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 10 h 30 min at a native pace, spread over 56 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
