Egy mérnök regénye

In the waning days of the 1850s, a humble seamstress named Szabolcsy Gábor lives in the modest town of Szatmár, struggling to raise her son alone after the death of her husband. Her quiet dignity and tireless work keep the household afloat, but relentless hardship wears down her health, and she passes away, leaving the boy without a clear future.

The town’s compassionate bishop steps in, offering the orphaned child a place at a charitable institution that shelters and educates displaced boys. As the young Gábor arrives, the caretakers grapple with the mystery of his birth—no records, no clear place of origin—prompting a series of inquiries that hint at a tangled past. Listeners will be drawn into the gentle yet urgent search for identity and belonging that begins in this tightly knit community, setting the stage for the boy’s journey beyond the walls of the orphanage.
