Overview

Szent Péter esernyője is a beloved Hungarian classic by Mikszáth Kálmán, presenting a richly colored, emotionally resonant narrative. Departing from his usual satirical style, Mikszáth offers a warm and humanistic tale filled with subtle humor, vivid characterization, and timeless moral insight.

The story follows young Wibra György, a novice lawyer from Besztercebánya, on a quest to uncover his inheritance and a mysterious red umbrella that conceals his father’s hidden fortune. Though he does not find the treasure, György discovers something far more valuable: the pure love of a young woman, the Glogova parson’s daughter.

This edition, part of the renewed Osiris Diákkönyvtár series, features improved typesetting and a modernized design while preserving the classic charm that made the novel a success across fourteen translations during Mikszáth’s lifetime.
