Géza Gárdonyi set his Hungarian children’s classic in the 16th century during the 150-year Ottoman occupation. Besides the tales of several battles, the novel details the 1552 Siege of Eger, during which Captain István Dobó’s 2,000 Hungarian men, women and children inside the county’s castle, defeated a Turkish force of 80,000 men. The Hungarian title, Egri csillagok> (literally, “Stars of Eger”), is required reading in Hungarian schools.
