"Carinus; A nagyenyedi két fűzfa" by Mór Jókai is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the opulent yet turbulent world of ancient Rome, focusing on the complex lives of prominent patricians during a time of political intrigue and cultural shifts. The primary characters include Mesembrius Vir, an elderly senator, and his daughters Sophronia and Glyceria, who navigate the challenges of love, societal pressure, and the growing influence of Christianity amidst a declining Roman civilization. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Mesembrius, a senator who has distanced himself from Rome, and his two daughters. He is particularly concerned about the influences surrounding his daughters, especially as young patricians arrive, eager to win their affections. Sophronia, the virtuous daughter, has caught the eye of a nobleman named Manlius Frankin, while Glyceria's reputation has become intertwined with controversies that perplex her father. As Mesembrius grapples with the evolving societal norms and the sanctity of his daughter's choices, the story sets the stage for a collision of passion, faith, and familial loyalty against the backdrop of a crumbling empire. The tension deepens as themes of love, betrayal, and religious persecution hint at the unfolding drama that promises to captivate readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
