Janos Kodolanyi: Sons of Iron

A 1200 page historical epic about the life and times of IV. Béla, who rebuilt Hungary after the mongol invasion of Europe in the 13th century.
A magnificient and well-researched novel.
Sadly, I don't think it's available in english.

English translation is ''Ancient Tillage'', by Raduan Nassar. There's other great Brazilian novels but this one is particularly neat.
