The Strange Story of Rab Ráby

Description of the book

The Strange Story of Rab Raby by Mor Jokai is about the people's lawyer of Pesth, Rab Raby. Excerpt: "Now it is not because the double name of "Rab Ráby" is merely a pretty bit of alliteration that the author chose it for the title of his story, but rather because the hero of it was, according to contemporary witnesses of his doings, named Ráby, and in consequence of these same doings, earned the epithet "Rab" ("culprit"). How he deserved the appellation will be duly shown in what follows."
