Summary "'Neath the Hoof of the Tartar; Or, The Scourge of God" by báró Miklós Jósika is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds during the tumultuous period of the Mongol invasion of Hungary, centering on characters such as Master Peter and his daughter Dora, who navigate the societal upheavals and impending dangers heralded by ominous rumors and prophecies of war. As they prepare for possible conflict, themes of heroism, cultural identity, and the complexities of relationships amidst looming threats emerge. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the household of Master Peter, who is taken aback by the arrival of Father Roger, a figure bearing news of potential danger from the advancing Mongol forces. As they discuss the importance of vigilance and the rumors of an impending invasion, the character dynamics are revealed, with Peter expressing skepticism while Dora seems more inclined to heed Father Roger’s warnings. This tension is further amplified by discussions of other characters, including Stephen, Peter's brother, and the political machinations involving the Kunok and their integration into Hungarian society. The beginning sets a foreboding tone, establishing a landscape ripe for conflict, both personal and historical. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
