Summary: "A csókok éjszakája és egyéb elbeszélések" by Ferenc Molnár is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The tales explore themes of love, betrayal, and societal customs, with a notable focus on a unique celebration known as "the night of kisses," where women are permitted to be unfaithful to their husbands for one night in honor of a martyred woman named Illi. The stories are rich in philosophical musings and depict the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. The opening of the collection introduces the mystical legend surrounding the "night of kisses," which takes place in the Kingdom of Abomár. We learn about Illi, a virtuous woman who suffered at the hands of her brutal husband, leading to the establishment of this annual event as a form of cosmic justice for women. The narrative shifts to Nikola, a young scholar who is not interested in the festivities, as he discovers a document that could change the fate of the upcoming celebrations by proving Illi's alleged guilt. As he contemplates the implications of this discovery, a mysterious woman arrives at his door, setting the stage for a night filled with unexpected encounters and moral dilemmas.
