Az alispán úr : Regény

A witty, 19th‑century satire opens with a lively debate in the great hall of Fenesi Castle. Filax Albert, a self‑styled scholar of logic, is summoned by the proud landowner Boldizsár and his son Bódi to prove that teaching is nothing without learning. Their exchange spins through syllogisms, metaphysics and the absurd notion that a “mogyorófa‑vessző” (hazelnut‑twig) might be the key to disciplined education.

As Filax attempts to impose his methodical reasoning on the stubborn noble youth, the conversation drifts into the clash between cold logic, practical pedagogy and the expectations of a family eager to see its son rise to the rank of alispán. The humor lies in the exaggerated arguments and the vivid portrait of a world where academic rigor meets rustic stubbornness, all set against a richly described, slightly chaotic Hungarian countryside manor.
