Summary: "Tinta" by Dezső Kosztolányi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins on the eve of war, juxtaposing the mundane life of citizens with the impending chaos of conflict. It focuses on the experiences of a young student caught in the realities of a world on the brink of transformation, exploring themes of innocence, societal change, and the shadow of war. The opening of "Tinta" depicts the day when the news of war breaks, offering a vivid and sensory-rich account of the nation's atmosphere as people engage in their daily lives, oblivious to the gravity of the situation looming before them. Among them is a seventeen-year-old student who ventures into the hills, pondering philosophical questions and unexpectedly encountering soldiers, thus marking the intrusion of war into personal and collective consciousness. Kosztolányi artfully captures the initial stages of societal numbness, juxtaposing tranquility with the foreboding sense of an imminent and turbulent change, foreshadowing the emotional landscape that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
