Albert László from page images generously made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library "Nagyvárosi képek: Tollrajzok" by Zoltán Ambrus is a collection of literary sketches likely written during the early 20th century. The work captures the essence of urban life in Budapest, focusing on the juxtaposition between the bustling high society and the inner reflections of the narrator. Through vivid imagery and a philosophical lens, the book delves into themes of alienation and the search for meaning amidst the distractions of modern life. At the start of the collection, the narrator finds himself at a horse race, surrounded by the thrill and excitement of the crowd, yet feels an internal disconnect. He contemplates the superficiality of the events unfolding around him and questions his own motivations for being there. This inner monologue reveals his struggle between the allure of societal pleasures and his own melancholic introspection, ultimately highlighting his awareness of the fleeting nature of joy and the serenity found in the simple pleasures of life. As he observes the horses and the people, he reflects on deeper existential questions, setting the tone for the philosophical explorations that will continue throughout the work.
