Utazás a Balaton körül (1. kötet)

A vivid recollection of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime journey circles the shores of Hungary’s great lake. The narrator, now decades removed, guides us through the company of four prominent Transylvanian gentlemen—Salamon, Gyulai, Szilágyi and Nagy—along with two additional companions, recalling their personalities, debates, and the atmosphere that surrounded their trek. The prose blends personal memory with the natural splendor of the Balaton, hinting at the lingering echo of poetry, history and friendship.

Even after twenty‑five years, the author wrestles with fading details, the pull of nostalgia and a yearning to set the experience down before it slips away. The account captures the spirit of an era when scholars, poets and patriots gathered to celebrate their homeland, sketching a portrait of a landscape still “undiscovered” by many. Listeners will feel the lake’s shimmering horizon and hear the murmurs of a bygone dialogue, inviting them to share in a moment that remains both intimate and timeless.
