Summary "Novellák" by Mór Jókai is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work delves into various narratives set in different periods, intertwining themes of love, moral struggles, and social issues within its rich historical backdrop. Notably, the collection begins with "Carinus," which introduces characters like the aging senator Mesembrius and his daughters, exploring the contrast between personal virtues and the moral decay of society during the Roman Empire. The opening of "Novellák" presents the aged senator Mesembrius living in the countryside away from the intrigues of Rome, burdened by the shame associated with his daughter Glyceria's disreputable lifestyle. The narrative shifts around his second daughter, Sophronia, who is virtuous and secretly embraces Christianity amidst the chaos around her. As various young patricians seek Sophronia's hand in marriage, the story is set against the backdrop of Rome's societal decadence, exploring themes of love, reputation, and the trials faced by those striving for integrity amid moral decay.
