Title: Gold in the mud
Description: "Gold in the Mud (Sárarany) is a classic of Hungarian literature. Penned in 1910 by Zsigmond Móricz and first appearing in the famed Nyugat literary magazine, the novel gives a gripping account of wealthy peasant Dani Turi's dogged yet doomed quest to break the bonds of his social status and achieve economic success as a landowner. Gold in the Mud sealed Móricz's reputation as the first Hungarian author to portray the peasant classes with unflinching realism."--From the cover.
