"Egyszerű emberek" by István Tömörkény is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book paints a vivid picture of life in a small Balkan military outpost, delving into the lives of soldiers and locals as they navigate their mundane existence, boredom, and the impacts of their environment. Through character interactions and daily routines, it explores themes of camaraderie, the banality of military life, and the clash of cultures in a region marked by tension. The opening of "Egyszerű emberek" introduces us to a military garrison in Novibazar, where soldiers lead simple yet monotonous lives, engaged in trivial pastimes to stave off boredom. The narrative follows various characters, including the calm yet authoritative officer Kónya, who maintains order among his men; their everyday dealings with boredom, the occasional ransackings by local bandits, and their clumsy attempts at leisure underscore the stark realities they face. As the soldiers contend with their uneventful days, the author sets up an atmosphere saturated with a sense of resignation and the sometimes absurd yet poignant aspects of their simple, striving humanity.
