Deák Ferencz és családja (2. kötet)

A vivid portrait unfolds as we follow the later years of a towering statesman who retreated each spring to the tranquil estate of Puszta‑Szent‑László. The narrative walks the listener through the modest rooms, the chestnut‑lined groves, and the quiet forest paths where he spent sixteen summers, away from the bustle of politics, yet surrounded by the people who mattered most to him—family, steadfast friends, and trusted allies.

Through careful description of the house’s great tea‑room, the study where ideas were debated, and the simple bedroom that overlooked ancient trees, the story reveals how the landscape shaped his thoughts on the nation’s fate. Encounters with local figures, visits from dignitaries, and the everyday rhythms of rural life give a human dimension to a figure often known only for his public deeds.

Listeners will feel the scent of pine and the hush of evening fields, gaining insight into the private world that nurtured the mind behind Hungary’s pivotal reforms, all while the gentle cadence of the narrator brings history to life.
