Summary "Béla, a buta" by Dezső Kosztolányi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to navigate themes of existential musings, societal reflections, and human experiences through the life of its protagonist, Béla, who encounters complex emotional landscapes, intertwining elements of humor and pathos as he grapples with identity, relationships, and material possessions. The opening of the novel introduces us to Béla as he awakens alone in a train compartment, confused and disoriented. He discovers a cane in his carriage, which he initially contemplates returning but ultimately decides to keep, attributing a monetary worth to it. As he navigates his surroundings and interacts with various people, he reflects on his life experiences—the losses he has suffered and the mundane realities he faces. This sets the tone for a blend of humorous yet poignant observations as Béla contemplates the nature of ownership and belonging, alongside the absurdities of social interactions, establishing a foundation for the character's journey ahead.
