| Summary |
"Páter Péter; Asszonyt kisér — Istent kisért" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to involve themes of duty, temptation, and the duality of human nature, set within a Jesuit convent and featuring the character Páter Péter, a novice who is thrust into a challenging mission involving the upbringing of a noblewoman's son. The narrative hints at intricate relationships and moral dilemmas that the characters will face, focusing on the conflicts between religious obligations and personal desires. The opening of the novel introduces us to a gathering of Jesuit fathers who are debating the appointment of a novice, Páter Péter, for a mission that no one seems eager to take on. Through various dialogues, we see their reluctance and the humorous yet serious tone surrounding the selection process. A young student named János overhears the discussions and learns that Péter is to be sent as an instructor to the child of a woman reputed to be troublesome. Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Páter Péter, who is depicted engaged in menial labor, reflecting his lowly status as a novice. His internal struggle is foreshadowed as he realizes the challenges his new role will present, particularly concerning the temptations he may face associated with the noblewoman and her child.
