"Capillária: Regény" by Frigyes Karinthy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces a fantastical realm known as Capillária, a hidden underwater society populated exclusively by women, where the protagonist, a ship's surgeon, finds himself after a series of unfortunate events. The narrative delves into themes of gender roles, societal structures, and the peculiarities of this unique civilization, contrasting it with the author's insights into European norms. The opening of the novel sets the stage for an adventure filled with humor and wonder. The protagonist, despite swearing off travel for the sake of his family, embarks on a perilous journey aboard the "Queen" and ends up shipwrecked. As he grapples with his surroundings—strange creatures, and unexpected discoveries—he discovers the wonders of Capillária, including the oddly beautiful inhabitants and their distinctive customs. The initial chapters capture his astonishment and bewilderment, presenting a vivid exploration of a world where traditional gender dynamics are turned upside down, and the protagonist must navigate this new reality.
