About this book
In the midst of the Mongol invasion of Hungary, "'Neath the Hoof of the Tartar; Or, The Scourge of God" by báró Miklós Jósika vividly captures the chaos and resilience of a nation under siege. This gripping historical novel intricately weaves themes of survival and sacrifice, as characters like Master Peter and his daughter Dora confront the harrowing realities of war. With striking depictions of the brutal tactics employed by the invaders and the indomitable spirit of the Hungarian people, Jósika's work serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle for autonomy. Ideal for historians and students alike, this narrative offers a profound exploration of courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
