| Summary |
"Nagy idők, nagy emberek: Regény" by Vas Gereben is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the life of Hungarian poet and writer Vas Gereben, exploring his journey from a spirited youth in the countryside to a prominent literary figure involved in the social and political changes of his time. It aims to capture the essence of Hungarian society, particularly the struggles and aspirations of its people during significant historical moments. The opening of this novel introduces readers to the backdrop of Hungary during the early 19th century, highlighting the character of Radákovits József, who would later adopt the pen name Vas Gereben. As a child, he exhibits strength and cleverness, but his journey is marred with challenges including expulsions from school and the struggle to become a lawyer. The narrative dives into his bohemian lifestyle, burgeoning literary career, and the socio-political upheaval during the 1848 revolutions. His early humor and talent for captivating storytelling are established, foreshadowing the significant role he will play in representing the peasant class and Hungarian identity through his works.
