Albert László from page images generously made available by the Hungarian Electronic Library “A porosz levél; Madame de Rothe halála” by Géza Laczkó is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives, relationships, and social intricacies of small-town society, mixing sharp observation with subtle irony and satire. The primary focus includes characters such as Gaston Lacrouze—a young teacher entangled in love and scandal—and, in the second story, figures surrounding the aging Madame de Rothe. Altogether, the work likely explores themes of provincial life, personal reputation, and the workings of social exclusion. The opening of the book, particularly in “A porosz levél”, introduces Gaston Lacrouze returning to the French provincial town of Pédebidoult after a trip. Through a light, often humorous tone, we follow Gaston's daily routines, his flirtations with the mayor’s daughter Hortense, and his standing within the town's tight-knit, gossip-filled community. A misunderstanding over a mysterious letter from Berlin soon escalates into a full-blown scandal, prompting suspicion, ostracism, and the unraveling of Gaston's happiness and prospects. The narrative vividly depicts the mechanisms of rumor and suspicion in small-town life, mapping Gaston's fall from favored teacher and suitor to outcast. The subsequent story, “Madame de Rothe halála”, shifts setting and style, centering on the ageing Madame de Rothe and her relationship with a high-ranking churchman, tinged with both decadence and melancholy. Both openings employ intimate character sketches to lay the groundwork for tales of social drama and personal fate.
