More about the book

The novel presents a fresh Hungarian perspective on the theme of adultery, echoing Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Set in the fictional town of Ilosva, it follows the life of a bored teacher's wife and her unaware husband against the backdrop of semi-feudal Hungary. Zsigmond Móricz, writing in 1911, introduces innovative narrative techniques that enhance the exploration of desire and discontent, making this work a significant classic in Hungarian literature.
