The poet spent the summer of 1847 in Füred. The poems were written there. The first book deals separately with Lake Balaton. At the beginning of the volume, which consists of three cycles (Balaton, Füred, Tihany), Garay pays tribute to the "greatest Hungarian" with his poem "Count Széchenyi és a' Balaton". Thanks to one of the plays in the Tihany cycle, the legend of the Balaton’s goat's hoof became famous. Scarce item.
