A falu jegyzője (1. kötet): Regény

A vivid portrait of life on the Tisza floodplain unfolds through the eyes of the village clerk, a man who knows every bend of the river, every patch of meadow, and the intricate customs of the locals. He guides us through the quiet rhythms of Tiszarét, a settlement framed by sandy dunes, a sprawling English garden, and a shimmering lake that reflects the sky’s moods. The narrative captures the stark beauty of the landscape—grazing cattle, lone storks, and the ever‑present hum of the water—while hinting at the subtle tensions that linger beneath its pastoral calm.

At the heart of the story lies the Réty family, one of the region’s wealthiest lineages, whose fortunes and feuds shape much of the community’s daily affairs. Their ancestral estate, with its towering trees and meticulously tended fields, serves as a backdrop for the clerk’s delicate balancing act between duty, tradition, and the changing times. As he navigates rivalries, legal disputes, and the expectations of his fellow villagers, listeners are invited into a world where personal honor and rural life intertwine.
