"Dr. Dumany's Wife" by Mór Jókai is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens with an intriguing story centered around a young boy named James Dumany, who is both deaf and mute after a traumatic accident, and the circumstances surrounding his family's journey following a train catastrophe. The book appears to explore themes of tragedy, familial love, and social dynamics through the lens of various characters impacted by this calamity. The opening of the novel introduces us to a traveler on the St. Gothard railway, who learns of a wealthy American family traveling with their son and numerous attendants. The train is soon disrupted by an accident, leading to a catastrophic landslide that devastates the train and its passengers. The protagonist finds himself thrust into a chaotic scene where he is tasked with rescuing the child after the governess's tragic decision to return for her bonnet leads to her demise. As the story unfolds, the complexities of human relationships, societal expectations, and the aftermath of loss are hinted at, laying the groundwork for an emotionally charged narrative.
