Summary: "Télutó: Elbeszélések" by Mária Berde is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. Set against a backdrop of war-torn Transylvania, the stories focus on the personal and social struggles of individuals, especially women, in a time of loss and upheaval. The main characters navigate themes of loyalty, grief, duty, and the search for moral clarity in a fractured society. Throughout, the writing emphasizes the weight of personal sacrifice and the complexities of honor in times of crisis. The opening of "Télutó" introduces Klaudina, a young woman grappling with the transition from mourning to the possibility of new beginnings, as her mother encourages her to cast off her black dresses of grief. The narrative quickly intertwines her fate with that of Krizbai, a fugitive jurist and former family acquaintance, who seeks refuge in Klaudina’s home, putting her father—Czinege, the city’s head official—in a grave moral dilemma between duty and compassion. The tension escalates as Klaudina daringly aids Krizbai’s escape, only to be met by heartbreak and the consequences that ripple through her family. This beginning paints a vivid picture of a community marked by suffering, betrayal, and ethical ambiguity in the aftermath of revolution, setting the tone for deeply human stories of endurance and conscience.
