"A magyar előidőkből; Egy asszonyi hajszál" by Mór Jókai is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds during turbulent times in Hungary, likely centered around the battles and political intrigue of the past. The main character, King Salamon, grapples with loss, betrayal, and the quest for redemption in the face of personal and national tragedy. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the aftermath of a fierce battle where King Salamon's forces have suffered significant losses. The king is depicted in a moment of despair as he reflects on the betrayal by his own people and the curse from his mother. Stirred by an otherworldly vision of the saintly Charitas, Salamon experiences a spiritual awakening. However, as he is forced to confront the harsh realities of war and the treachery surrounding him, he prepares to rally his remaining loyalists. The opening hints at themes of honor, sacrifice, and the intricate relationships between duty and personal desire, establishing a rich historical backdrop for Salamon's journey.
