The Life of Countess Katalin Bethlen

by Kata Bethlen, Bernard Adama (Translator)

A Hungarian aristocrat in eighteenth-century Transylvania, the celebrated Kata Bethlen is the earliest female Hungarian writer of note. Her very distinguished family produced some eminent men, from Gábor, prince of Transylvania and elective king of Hungary, through Kata's uncle Miklós, Chancellor of Transylvania, to the 20th-century Prime Minister István Bethlen. Kata's indomitable personality and unshakeable Calvinistic faith permeate the book. This elegant, highly personal memoir reveals a great deal about life and attitudes in this remote region
