Rákóczy fia: Regény

In the waning years of the 19th‑century Austro‑Hungarian world, two young brothers—once snatched from their mother’s side and shipped to Vienna— find themselves thrust into a bewildering aristocratic milieu. Under the watchful eye of a demanding court master, they are groomed to bear the title of count, receiving a rigorous education that blends swordplay, horsemanship and an arcane system of examinations laden with strange instruments and moral penalties. Their daily life is a tapestry of opulent halls, strict protocols, and a relentless pressure to master both the arts of war and the subtleties of courtly etiquette.

Against this backdrop, the brothers grapple with their own identities: the elder, a diligent student at a German academy, and the younger, rooted in the bustling streets of Vienna. While their mother lives cloistered in a convent, the boys navigate a world where political intrigue, cultural displacement, and the weight of noble expectation collide, shaping a compelling portrait of youth caught between duty and desire.
