Summary
Az Egri csillagok mára már igazi klasszikussá vált Magyarországon. A törtĂ©net a 16. század elsĹ‘ felĂ©ben játszĂłdik Ă©s körĂĽlbelĂĽl 25 Ă©vet foglal magába. A legfĹ‘bb törtĂ©nelmi esemĂ©nyek közt olvashatunk a magyar királyok szĂ©khelyĂ©nek, Budának 1541-es vĂ©rmentes elfoglalásárĂłl Ă©s a törökök 1552-es egri ostromárĂłl. BetekintĂ©st nyerhetĂĽnk mĂ©g más törtĂ©nelmi tĂ©mákba is, pĂ©ldául a reformáciĂł Magyarországon elĂ©rt hatására, a magyarok Ă©s a nĂ©met-rĂłmai császár közti nĂ©zeteltĂ©rĂ©sekre, Ă©s olyan Ă©rtĂ©kek kĂsĂ©rik vĂ©gig a regĂ©nyt, mint a könyörĂĽletessĂ©g, apai Ă©s anyai szeretet, barátság, bizalom Ă©s Ĺ‘szintesĂ©g.
The story is set in the first half of the 16th century and covers a period of roughly 25 years. The main historical events that are addressed are the bloodless occupation of Buda, the seat of the Hungarian kings, in 1541, and the 1552 Siege of Eger (now in Northern Hungary) by the Turks that forms the major topic of the novel. The story also addresses some other historical topics like the impact of the Reformation, the discord between Hungarians and the Holy Roman Emperor, as well as many themes of general import like mercy, filial and marital love, friendship, trust and truthfulness. The book is considered as the most famous Hungarian novel. It's been translated into English titled Eclipse of the Crescent Moon.
