The story is set in the small town of Varjas, which has remained relatively isolated from modern advancements due to the lack of a railway connection to Budapest. The narrative likely revolves around the lives of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on the character of Ábel Péter, an elderly representative of the town, and his niece Ábel Mariska, as they navigate changes brought about by modernization and the influence of outside forces. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the town of Varjas in the backdrop of 1909 when residents lament their isolation and the expensive nature of city life. We meet Ábel Péter as he strolls through the main street and encounters his spirited niece Mariska, who has just visited the cemetery to honor her deceased mother. The conversation highlights the characters' personalities and familial relations, showcasing Mariska's beauty and ambition while exploring societal tensions regarding the impending arrival of the railway. As different factions develop opinions on modernization, we can sense the shifting dynamics on the horizon, setting the stage for conflicts and developments in this quaint town.
