Summary/Abstract: István Szilágyi’s historical novel proved to be one of the most important Hungarian books of 2001. The story that takes place in the 16th century represents the traditional kind of the genre that sweeps the reader away in its own world. Beáta Thomka analyses the poetical and rhetorical toolbar of the work focusing on this experience of the reader.
