English Pretty Michal Produced by Steven desJardins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Pretty Michal" by Mór Jókai is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the upbringing of Michal, the beautiful daughter of Rev. Master Fröhlich, who raises her in a strict and isolated environment, devoid of maternal influence. The story unfolds in a tumultuous time marked by political conflict in Hungary, introducing themes of love, fidelity, and the choices that shape one's destiny. The opening of the tale establishes a vivid backdrop, detailing the scientific and domestic education Michal receives from her father. He employs unorthodox methods to bring her up, even giving her a masculine name to thwart potential dangers. As she matures, Michal becomes the subject of romantic interest, which leads to unexpected developments, including a love correspondence conducted through whimsical means like a dragon and a balloon. Meanwhile, her father's stringent rules and warnings about the dangers of men surround her, creating a rich tension as she navigates the complexities of love and loyalty, ultimately hinting at the trials she will face as events unfold.
