Synopsis

"Dr. Dumany's Wife" by Mór Jókai, written in the late 19th century, opens with a tragic accident that dramatically alters the course of many lives. A young boy, severely impacted by a traumatic event that leaves him deaf and mute, becomes a central figure around whom the narrative unfolds. The story examines the consequences of a catastrophic train disaster and its impact on various characters. At the beginning, a traveler on the St. Gothard railway learns about a wealthy American family, including their son and attendants, embarking on a journey. The tranquility of their journey is shattered by an accident, triggering a devastating landslide that claims lives and thrusts the protagonist into a chaotic rescue operation. The unfolding events reveal the profound effects of tragedy on familial bonds, personal sacrifice, and the reshaping of social dynamics. As the narrative progresses, it explores the emotional complexities surrounding human relationships, the lingering effects of loss, and the resilience required to face the aftermath of such profound experiences. The story lays the foundation for a deep exploration of love, sacrifice, and the intricate web of human interactions.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Mór Jókai, also known as Maurice Jókai, Maurus Jókai, or Mauritius Jókai, was a Hungarian novelist, dramatist, and revolutionary leader. Born on February 18, 1825, in Komárom, Hungary, Jókai is considered one of the most influential writers in Hungarian literature. His literary work includes historical novels, adventure stories, and plays, often reflecting the political upheavals of his time. He played a significant role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, which deeply influenced his worldview on freedom and national identity. Jókai's works, such as The Green Book and Timar's Two Worlds, delve into complex social and political themes, often set against rich and imaginative backdrops. Alongside his writing, Jókai was actively involved in the Hungarian political scene, particularly during the 1848 revolution. He was married twice, first to the actress Róza Laborfalvi, and later to Bella Nagy. He had one daughter, Róza Jókai. Jókai passed away on May 5, 1904, in Budapest, leaving behind a legacy that endures both through his literary contributions and his impact on Hungary's history.
