Summary "Pustan poika" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Hungary's vast plains, the story explores the lives of humble villagers and their interactions with the affluent aristocracy, highlighting themes of social class, superstition, and conflict between tradition and modernity. The narrative introduces characters like the proud Count, Bideskuty, and the enigmatic Jewish moneylender, Rosenstein, setting the stage for a tale filled with intrigue and cultural tensions. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the Hungarian puszta, immersing the reader in the tranquil yet harsh beauty of the landscape. It introduces a small village, Arokszállas, where the local peasants gather in a tavern to discuss their simple lives and the rumored advent of modern machinery that threatens their traditional way of living. Amidst this lively discourse, characters express their fears about the upcoming steam mill and its implications for their agricultural livelihood. Tension arises as superstitions and suspicions about the machinery and the aristocrat's intentions unfold, foreshadowing a brewing conflict between the villagers and their social superiors.
