| Summary |
"Az elátkozott család: Regény" by Mór Jókai is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative appears to center around a city struck by calamity, likely an earthquake, drawing various social classes and religious groups into a shared experience of fear and desperation. The developing interactions among the key characters hint at themes of community, faith, and resilience in the face of disaster. The opening of this novel paints a vivid scene immediately before and after a catastrophic earthquake ravages a town. People from all walks of life are united in their panic as the earth shakes beneath them. As the initial terror gives way to despair, the citizens are depicted scrambling to seek refuge in places of worship, praying collectively amidst the chaos. Discussion emerges among various factions of the city about building temporary structures to facilitate worship, reflecting themes of unity and the human spirit striving against adversity. Key figures, including Bajcsy András, emerge as leaders in advocating for cooperation and harmony across divisions within the community in this disturbing yet deeply engaging beginning.
