Szerelmesek by Ferenc Herczeg
"Szerelmesek" by Ferenc Herczeg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a social gathering hosted by a well-to-do couple, the Herberts, illustrating the dynamics among their affluent guests. The characters are introduced amidst a backdrop of societal expectations and personal conflicts, particularly revolving around Klotild, a young widow, and her tumultuous feelings for Arady Sándor, a diplomat who appears to be losing interest in her. The
opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the Herbert household during an evening gathering. As guests mingle, the atmosphere is punctuated by discomfort: the host reveres social etiquette, while an unexpected act—a young man's dance—causes a scandal that preys on their rigid social morals. Klotild, who faints at the party, becomes the focus of further intrigue with her past connection to Sándor, revealing underlying tensions in their relationship as they navigate societal pressures and personal aspirations. The nuances of love, societal standing, and the difficulties of the heart lay the foundation for the complexities that will unfold throughout the narrative.
