| Summary |
"Bűbájosok (Novellák)" by Dezső Kosztolányi is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore themes of human experience, often tinged with a sense of melancholy and existential reflection. Characters navigate complex emotional landscapes, grappling with their desires, fears, and societal conventions. The opening of the collection presents a story titled "A Detektiv," which portrays the distress of a narrator who realizes that his precious gold watch has been stolen. This theft triggers a whirlwind of emotions, including confusion, shame, and paranoia about the implications of the crime. As he embarks on a frantic search for the thief, he encounters a detective who seems to pervade his thoughts, further deepening the narrator's sense of anxiety and dread. The narrative intricately captures the protagonist's psychological turmoil as he grapples with the absurdity of the situation and the loss of his sense of safety and order in the world.
