Albert László from page images generously made available by the Hungarian Electronic Library "Az arany hegedű: regény" by Ferenc Herczeg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in Hungary on the eve of war, focusing on the lives of Arató István, a distinguished university professor, his wife Katalin, and his much younger half-brothers, Péter and Pál. The book delves into themes of family, love, and looming societal upheaval, as personal and historical destinies intertwine. Readers can expect a character-driven narrative heightened by the tensions of impending conflict. The opening of the novel sets a dramatic and lyrical tone, beginning with a storm over Budapest symbolizing the brewing war. We are introduced to the introspective Arató István and his close-knit household, including his lively wife Katalin and the spirited twin brothers, Péter and Pál, who are serving their military year. Through their conversations and interactions, Herczeg paints a vivid picture of domestic warmth shadowed by anxiety over the coming war. As news of mobilization arrives, the family's fears and hopes intertwine with broader national emotions. The narrative then shifts to provide background on Katalin's difficult upbringing and her deep love for István, before introducing the sorrowful figure of Mária, who seeks to volunteer as a nurse after her troubled marriage and widowhood. The section closes with the mobilization and departure of the twins to the front, marking the threshold between peace and the trials of war for the characters.
