| Summary |
"Mire megvénülünk (2. kötet)" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of personal and societal relationships, particularly focusing on the lives of its characters as they navigate love, ambition, and moral dilemmas in a dynamic, changing world. The main characters include Loránd, a young man seeking purpose and belonging, alongside Topándy, who plays a crucial role in his journey. At the start of the novel, Loránd arrives at a castle where he is introduced to Topándy and a young lady who has brought him to seek employment as an ispán (a type of land steward). Their interactions hint at humor and camaraderie, with Topándy jokingly questioning Loránd’s qualifications for the job. As the scene unfolds, they discuss practical skills mostly related to agricultural management. Topándy also introduces Loránd to various aspects of life at the castle, including his relations with the beautiful Czipra, who is both a servant and a source of intrigue for Loránd. This opening sets up a narrative filled with complexity as Loránd’s past and his longing for fulfillment come into play amidst societal expectations and personal ambitions.
