TARTALOMJEGYZÉK.
Set against the flood‑lit rivers and mud‑colored towns of early‑1900s Hungary, the story opens inside the dusty archives of a never‑ending court case. Bureaucrats, river pilots and a handful of uneasy witnesses recount a night on the Tisza where a mysterious corpse is passed from one small boat to another. The language is brisk and oddly legal, pulling listeners into a world where paperwork and superstition collide.
At the centre of the tale is Matej Ignácz, a reluctant witness whose shifting statements hint at deeper currents of intrigue and greed. As the river‑men barter a dead body for unnamed sums, the narrative weaves together dark humor, regional dialects, and a glimpse of the precarious life along the waterways. Listeners are left wondering whether the true crime lies in the murder itself or in the endless machinery of justice that keeps the case alive.

1842–1916
Best remembered as the lawyer who defended the accused in the 1883 Tiszaeszlár blood libel case, he also wrote lively, reflective prose about Hungarian public life and memory. His work blends the voice of a seasoned advocate with the warmth of a gifted storyteller.
