1. A Fekete Város
Set in a provincial Hungarian market town during the turbulence of Ottoman-era raids, the novel follows local officials, townspeople and outsiders as personal ambition, grudges and superstition collide; through courtroom intrigue, love affairs, witch‑hunt–like accusations and small acts of cruelty and kindness, the story paints a vivid, often ironic portrait of a community’s moral and social unraveling as it struggles to survive amid violence, fear and shifting power.
