Kunszállási emberek

In 1912 Budapest a sharp‑tongued lawyer arrives under the unsettling nickname “Vércse.” With his stark white hair, restless eyes and a habit of rubbing his forehead while wrestling with thoughts, he quickly becomes both a curiosity and a menace in the town of Kunszállás. The locals whisper that his very name hints at a predatory nature, and his first weeks are marked by bold visits to churches, solemn promises, and a flurry of legal papers that begin to reshape small farm holdings.

Behind the polished façade lies a paradox: a boy raised in a cramped workshop, schooled by Jesuits, who struggled to master the simplest lessons yet devoured books with fierce determination. This blend of poverty‑born grit and elite education fuels an unrelenting drive to amass wealth, even as clergy and landowners grow wary of his ruthless tactics. Listeners will follow his audacious climb through courts, loans and estate deals, feeling the tension between his outward piety and the blood‑thirsty ambition that propels him forward.
