Description

A két ördög vára és egyéb elbeszélések by Károly Eötvös is a collection of historical narratives likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into themes of conflict, betrayal, and the struggles faced by the Hungarian nobility during tumultuous times, particularly through the lens of two infamous bandit leaders referred to as the White Devil and the Black Devil. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the historical setting during the times of the Hungarian prince Rákóczi and the challenges he faced against both internal treachery and external threats, notably from the imperial forces and rebellious factions. The narrative establishes the rise of two notorious brigand leaders, Balyika and Vaszili, who forge a dangerous alliance in their quest for power and infamy across the regions of Hungary. Their cruel actions against the peasantry and nobility create a backdrop of fear, manipulation, and loss, while the character of Patkós Dani is presented as he embarks on a journey, filled with the promise of heroism and the complexity of navigating such perilous times.
