Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox book A Gyurkovics-lányok (Шаблон:Literal translation) is an 1893 novel by the Hungarian writer Ferenc Herczeg.
In the novel, a Hungarian mother marries off her seven daughters in clever ways.[1] The book explores "the native traditions ... concerning matrimony as the single career open to women, the strict seniority rights to marriage in a family of many daughters, and the code of honor compelling a youth to marry the girl with whom he has been caught in a flirtation".[2]
Herczeg wrote two more novels about the Gyurkovics family. A Gyurkovics-fiuk (Шаблон:Literal translation) was published in 1895 and Gyurka és Sándor (Шаблон:Literal translation) in 1899. A Gyurkovics-lányok was the basis for the 1911 play Seven Sisters written by Edith Ellis, which became successful internationally.[2] The novel and play have been adapted into the films The Seven Sisters (1915), Gyurkovicsarna (1920) and A Sister of Six (1926).[3]
