| Summary | "A haldokló oroszlán" by Miklós Bánffy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Reverend Goszpelda, who is depicted pacing in his modest room after a meal to avoid falling asleep due to his poor health. As he meanders through his thoughts, reverence battles with societal changes, embodied by his neighbor, a renowned materialistic professor—a source of spiritual conflict for the devout clergyman. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the Reverend as he walks back and forth in his room, reflecting on his past aspirations of becoming a missionary. This aspiration, however, remains unfulfilled due to his frail health, leading him to contemplate the apparent injustices of divine will as he observes the professor's success and companionship. Tension builds with the introduction of the female figure in the professor's life, who stirs feelings of animosity and jealousy in the Reverend, symbolizing a battle between faith and materialism. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters' emotions and beliefs, hinting at themes of existential struggle, faith, and the consequences of unfulfilled desires.
