By Mór Jókai

Book Overview

""There Is No Devil: A Romance"" is a novel written by Hungarian author Maurus Jokai in 1891. The story follows the life of a young man named Julius Barat, who is deeply in love with a beautiful woman named Mariska. However, their love is complicated by the fact that Mariska's father is a wealthy and powerful man who disapproves of Julius and wants his daughter to marry someone of his own choosing. As Julius struggles to win Mariska's hand in marriage, he becomes embroiled in a series of dangerous and mysterious events that threaten to tear them apart. Along the way, he encounters a number of strange characters, including a mysterious stranger who claims to be the devil himself. Despite its title, ""There Is No Devil: A Romance"" is not a work of religious or theological literature. Rather, it is a thrilling and romantic novel that explores themes of love, desire, and the struggle for personal freedom in a society that values tradition and conformity. With its vivid descriptions, complex characters, and compelling plot, this book remains a timeless classic of Hungarian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
