Albert László from page images generously made available by the Google Books Library Project "Délutáni álom" by Géza Csáth is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The primary topics of the book revolve around dreamlike or nightmarish psychological states, often delving into themes of love, alienation, obsession, and violence. Several of the stories involve main characters who feel isolated or possess troubled inner lives, and the narratives often present reality mixed with fantasy or disturbing visions. Prospective readers should be prepared for unsettling yet beautifully written explorations of the mind, relationships, and human cruelty. The opening of the book begins with its title story, where the narrator seeks an afternoon nap, drifting into a vivid dream about a mute countess and embarking on a surreal journey filled with longing, magical encounters, and a sense of haunting destiny. The dream blends romantic pursuit with mythic and symbolic elements, culminating in a motif of curses, love, death, and hope for renewal. This story is followed by "Anyagyilkosság," which presents a stark, disturbing narrative about two boys who, emotionally estranged from their mother, slip into acts of cruelty and ultimately matricide—depicted with a calm matter-of-factness that heightens the horror. Briefly, the subsequent story, "A kisasszony," introduces a patient, Fülöp, coping with illness and abandonment by conjuring an imaginary feminine companion, blurring the lines between self-preserving delusion and genuine comfort. The book’s opening thus sets up a tense emotional landscape, combining psychological depth, dream logic, and unflinching portrayals of violence and longing.
