Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Language learners with some Hungarian who want to practice reading original texts
- Readers studying nineteenth-century Hungarian literature and Jókai's works
- Literature enthusiasts interested in Central and Eastern European literature who are willing to read the original slowly
- Teachers or researchers needing free electronic texts as language material
Not a good fit for
- Readers with no Hungarian at all who only want a Chinese translation
- Readers who prefer fast-paced modern fiction and lack patience for old-style narrative
- Beginners hoping for detailed annotations or an introduction
Reading tips
- First learn about Jókai's life and historical context, then enter the text; understanding will be smoother.
- Read closely in sections with a Hungarian-Chinese dictionary, reading each section through once before looking up key words.
- Break long paragraphs into smaller segments and pay attention to changes in forms of address and narrative perspective.
- After finishing, compare with a Chinese or English translation to check your understanding of the original.

About the author
Mór Jókai (1825–1904) was the most important Hungarian novelist, playwright and revolutionary of the 19th century, and a major representative of Romantic literature. Born in Komárom, he took part in the 1848 Pest uprising and drafted the Twelve Points, and was later elected to parliament. His representative works include A Hungarian Nabob, The Baron's Sons, Black Diamonds and The Golden Man. Jókai's writing depicts Hungarian history and social change on a grand scale, with dramatic plots, vivid characters, romantic colour and national feeling; he is often compared with Dickens and Scott. His output was enormous: 106 of his works are held in this collection, and a hundred-volume collected edition appeared in 1894, evidence of his productivity and influence.
