Turkish letters

Kelemen Mikesh (1690-1762)-a associate, a devoted follower and servant of the great figure of Hungarian history, a fighter for independence, the Hungarian people of Prince Ferenc II Rakoti (1676-1735), who became one of the key figures of Hungarian national consciousness.

The work he left still fascinates readers in Hungary and in other countries. Mikesh with full right can be considered the founder of Hungarian artistic prose
