| Summary | "The Yellow Rose" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the vast Hungarian plains, focusing on the intertwined lives of herdsmen and a maiden known as "The Yellow Rose." Central to the story are Sándor Decsi, a csikós (horseherd) embroiled in a romantic entanglement, and Klári, the innkeeper's daughter, whose innocent love leads to a grave misunderstanding. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on the Hortobágy, where Sándor rides through the grassy expanse, showcasing a vibrant connection to his environment. Meanwhile, the narrative introduces Klári, a young woman of notable beauty, who is intricately linked to the legendary yellow rose, a flower that symbolizes her allure and the complexities of her romance with Sándor. As her feelings lead her to make a fateful decision involving a magical root, the tension between love, jealousy, and misfortune begins to unfold, hinting at the dramatic developments to come. The opening establishes the novel's themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for personal desires amidst societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
