Purpurni vek
Lajos Zilahy
"Purpurni vek" is the first book of the trilogy about the Dukajs.
The action takes place in Europe around 1848 and follows the story of two brothers from Hungary who are completely politically and ideologically different: Dali Dukaj is an ardent lover of freedom, while Antal Dukaj is a conservative bureaucrat.
A beautiful, very beautiful book. And sad. And dramatic. And what is enchantingly beautiful and dramatic about it is that sadness does not even for a moment overcome the son of its heroine, Bruria, the author of this book.
