Summary "Szomoru napok: Regény" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to explore dark themes surrounding death, despair, and the haunting memories of past tragedies through a series of interconnected characters facing their fates. Central to the narrative is a foreboding atmosphere that hints at impending doom, experienced vividly through a character named Magdolna, who serves as an ominous figure representing a prophecy of death. At the start of the novel, the narrative is steeped in an unsettling aura, beginning with a rhythmic invocation of "halál" (death) and vivid imagery of desolation, suggesting a community stricken by fear and fatality. Three decrepit houses in a village backdrop symbolize the decay and the absence of life, while a mad woman named Magdolna is introduced, rumored to possess the power to foresee death. The opening chapters also reference the horrifying fate of a young boy, Ödönke, whose sister Emma had disappeared under tragic circumstances, indicating a subplot of guilt and familial sorrow. Overall, the beginning sets a tone of eerie anticipation for both characters and readers alike, hinting at exploring the depths of human anguish entwined with the fate determined by past actions.
