Summary: "Álomország: Regény" by Ferenc Herczeg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against a backdrop of political and societal tensions, exploring themes such as power, identity, and gender roles through the experiences of its characters. Central to the narrative is a mysterious and captivating woman, referred to as the "fehér asszony" (white lady), who finds herself entangled in complex interactions within a male-dominated political arena. The opening of the novel introduces a tumultuous scene in a parliamentary chamber, where the atmosphere is charged with tension and chaos among the representatives. The white lady observes the events from a balcony, fixated on the calm demeanor of the prime minister, who contrasts sharply with the commotion below. Her thoughts reflect a longing for freedom from societal constraints and an awareness of her connection to a powerful male figure. As she navigates her feelings, we are introduced to Belizár, an ambitious American businessman, who is portrayed as a forceful character with aspirations of dominance in maritime trade. This sets the stage for a blend of personal and political drama, as the characters grapple with desires, ambitions, and the implications of their choices in a rapidly changing world.
