In The Hungarian Gentleman Farmer, Baroness Orczy turns her eye once more to the countryside of her beloved homeland, this time exploring the life and traditions of the landed gentry. Through vivid description and personal insight, she captures the rhythms of rural estates, the responsibilities of noble landowners, and the delicate balance between privilege and duty in Hungarian society. Rich with cultural detail, the book highlights the elegance and struggles of a class that stood between aristocracy and peasantry, preserving tradition while facing the pressures of modernity. Part memoir, part social study, it is both an affectionate portrait and a valuable historical record of Hungary at the dawn of the 20th century.
