| Summary | "Az arany szalamandra" by Ferenc Donászy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during a time of intrigue and mystery, revolving around alchemy and the pursuit of the legendary philosophers' stone. Key characters include Bornemissza Lénárd, a learned and ambitious alchemist, and his adept José Venegas, who both seek to unravel the secrets of alchemy while being entangled in broader political machinations and personal rivalries. The opening of the novel introduces the atmosphere of foreboding in Budaváros as celestial phenomena alarm the local populace. Bornemissza Lénárd is depicted as a powerful figure deeply entrenched in scholarly pursuits, fervently engaged in alchemical experiments. Initially establishing his character’s ambition and intensity, the text foreshadows intertwining narratives as different players in the court, including influential Jesuit Julián and others, reference the esoteric science of alchemy and hint at impending conflict related to the pursuit of earthly power and wealth. As the story progresses, themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the mysterious allure of forbidden knowledge emerge, setting the stage for dramatic developments ahead.
