Megjegyzés:
A mischievous, episodic tale unfolds in turn-of-the‑century Budapest, where a handful of sharply dressed gentlemen become entangled in a relentless quest for “the woman.” Each chapter presents a new, absurd scenario—a duel of pistols in a suburb, a banker's sudden plunge into high‑society intrigue, or a police investigation that turns into a literary scavenger hunt—always ending with the same cryptic command: search for the woman. The narrative weaves witty dialogue, vivid street scenes, and a parade of eccentric characters, hinting at the thin line between honor and farce.
Through lively satire, the story lampoons social pretensions, the fickle nature of desire, and the chaotic energy of a rapidly modernising city. Listeners are treated to a rapid‑fire tempo, punctuated by whimsical descriptions of fashions, gossip, and unexpected twists, all while the central pursuit keeps the humor rolling forward. The first act establishes a playful rhythm that invites you to follow these curious seekers into the unpredictable autumn light of the Gyanú.

1861–1932
A sharp-eyed Hungarian novelist, critic, and translator, he wrote about love, society, and modern life with elegance and irony. His career moved between journalism, fiction, and the theater, making him a lively voice in late 19th- and early 20th-century Hungarian literature.
