This epic novel chronicles the rise of the Hungarian coal industry during the 19th century, and the fortunes of one family who built their wealth on the black diamonds that lay beneath their land. Frances A. Gerard and Mór Jókai bring the world of mining to life with their vivid descriptions of coal pits, railway lines, and industrial towns, and their characters are both captivating and morally complex. This book is a masterpiece of historical fiction that will transport readers to a world of raw power and ruthless ambition.
