Name: Utazás a Balaton körül (2. kötet)
Author: Károly Eötvös

A sequence of travel sketches exploring the region around Lake Balaton, blending vivid landscape and village descriptions with anecdotes, folklore, and character portraits.

Episodes range from amusing sketches to reflective vignettes that illuminate rural life and changing social relations, while short narratives and impressions combine to form a mosaic of place rather than a continuous storyline.
