A kis királyok (1. rész) Regény

In the bustling heart of late‑19th‑century Budapest lies an extraordinary private park, a six‑hundred‑hectare garden of rare trees, exotic shrubs and painstakingly tended pathways. Its owner, Count Ponthay, is as much a shrewd political figure as he is a devoted horticulturist, spending a small fortune each year to keep the grounds in flawless order. The park, a showcase of European and American flora, reflects his love of beauty and his ambition to impress anyone who steps onto its winding avenues.

When the imperious royal adviser Hruszkay arrives—an official who openly despises trees and prefers the orderly confines of a salon—the Count sees an unexpected opportunity. He drags the reluctant guest through the park’s most splendid displays, demanding that he endure a relentless tour of botanical marvels and obscure plant lore. Their clash of temperaments, humor and stubborn pride sets the stage for a memorable encounter that will test both men’s patience and curiosity.
