Zsigmond Móricz (1879-1942), one of Hungary's greatest novelists and the first to portray the peasant classes with full regard for their human aspirations, reveals in this riveting narrative his mastery in drawing complex characters and evoking the unique atmosphere of rural Hungary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZsigmond Móricz was born in 1879 in the Tiszacsécse region of eastern Hungary to a poor peasant family.
