"This is for me?"
"Whom else?"
Now when a peasant maid twists her plait of hair round a comb, it means she is betrothed, has a lover of her own, and is "ours" no longer. Nor can she any more sing the song about "I know not whose darling am I."
Standing before the mirror, Klári "did up" her hair in a knot round the comb, and then she looked prettier than ever.
"Now you shall kiss me," she said. She[Pg 38] offered the kiss herself in fact, stretching out her arms, but the man held her back.
"Not yet," he said, "I will be hot presently, but I am still shivering."
It was a rebuff, and the girl drew her brows together, for she felt shamed, and . . . Read More

Hungarian "Western"
This charmingly dark tale takes place in the Hungarian plains and involves a tragic love triangle between two cowboys - a cow herd and a horse wrangler. There is a lot to enjoy about this translated story. The setting is unique and nothing like what I expected Hungary to be like.
Not gonna finish. The story looks like it's going to center around one of those romantic 'triangles' which is really just about two men fighting over a woman and she has very little to say about any of it.
Leí una traducción de esta novela publicada en co-edición SEP/Siglo XXI. Es una muy buena historia sobre vengativos triángulos amorosos en la llanura húngara.
Novela perteneciente al género romántico y que se desarrolla en Hungría, mostrando el estilo de vida los vaqueros en las llanuras húngaras.
Los pasajes en los que se describe la llanura húngara me han parecido simplemente preciosos, detectándose en ellos un anhelo melancólico por el retorno a la vid
En resumen: una de vaqueros en Hungría durante el siglo XIX.
La historia en si es sencilla: 2 jóvenes, una doncella, orgullo, romance, celos... principalmente orgullo y celos. Es una historia de 1898 y ya lo dice el prólogo : 'para leer a Jókai hace falta despojarse de aquello que no cualquiera está
Ad egy: visszatér a csikós hosszú útról, és mit lát? Egy sárga rózsát. Ez csak akkor érdekes, mondhatnátok erre, ha a csikós mellesleg amatőr botanikus is. De! Az a sárga rózsa csak a csikós babájának (a korcsmároslánynak) a kertjében nyílik, most viszont egy gulyáslegény esztétikai értékét növeli –
Looking back, this book is not as bad as I remembered, but considering the authors other works, I do not recommend this one. For me it has a boring plot, but knowing the author's late works, I didn't expect anything else (basically this is just a story for him to gain money).
Potreros, vaqueros, llano, campesinas, una taberna y un rosal...todos los elementos para una buena novela del llano, con la particularidad de que se desarrolla en Hungría en el siglo XIX. La disfruté y la leí de un tirón.
