This historical novel by Mór Jókai is set in seventeenth century Hungary, a period marked by political instability and shifting borders. The narrative follows the life of a learned scholar and his daughter. For a learner of Hungarian, this text presents a significant challenge due to its archaic vocabulary, complex sentence structures, and the specific historical context of the era. You will encounter formal, descriptive language that reflects the literary style of the nineteenth century, requiring careful attention to detail.

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 6 h 26 min at a native pace, spread over 41 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
