"A régi ház: Regény" by Cécile Tormay is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against a backdrop of winter in a small town, the story introduces readers to the life of Ulwing Kristóf, an architect reflecting on his family's history and the legacy of his ancestors as he approaches his home. The narrative is rich with imagery, establishing a sense of place and emotion, as it explores themes of family, memory, and the passage of time. The opening of the book paints a vivid scene of a snowy evening as Ulwing Kristóf arrives home in a horse-drawn carriage, contemplating the significance of his house, which has been a point of intrigue for the townsfolk since its construction. As he enters, he interacts with his family and household staff, revealing glimpses of their dynamics and relationships. The reader becomes acquainted with his son, János Hubert, and his daughter, Anna, adding warmth to the narrative. The introductory segment effectively sets the stage for exploring the intertwining lives of the Ulwing family, against the backdrop of a changing world that reflects broader historical and societal shifts.
