"The Old House: A Novel" by Cécile Tormay is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces Christopher Ulwing, a master builder deeply tied to his family's legacy and the evolving city around him. As he navigates his ambitions, familial relationships, and the impact of societal changes, the story explores themes of heritage, progress, and personal conflict amidst the backdrop of a changing world. The beginning of the novel sets a vivid scene with a winter evening in Pest, Hungary, where Christopher Ulwing arrives at his newly constructed house, which symbolizes both a personal and communal achievement. As Christopher interacts with his family, including his son John Hubert and their dedicated servant, the opening captures a blend of nostalgia and the burdens of expectation. His thoughts drift to the history of his family, shaping the essence of his identity. The domestic life is interwoven with the broader context of socio-political transformations and local events, hinting at the challenges that lie ahead for both Ulwing and the community he is a part of, ultimately foreshadowing the trials that will challenge his convictions and relationships.
