Thury Zoltán összes művei (3. kötet) A kapitány és egyéb elbeszélések

A sprawling portrait of a once‑great Hungarian family unfolds, beginning with the tangled lineage of the Gócs clan. Their fortunes stretch from modest Transylvanian roots to vast estates that spread across the kingdom like a woven tapestry, and the narrative teases the rival ambitions of two brothers, Bódog and Ferencz, as they grapple with inheritance, greed, and the weight of ancestral pride. The opening scenes are rich with vivid details of country life, legal maneuvers, and the lingering echo of a patriarch’s looming death, setting the stage for a clash of personalities and values.

The story’s tone is both intimate and expansive, offering a glimpse into the daily rituals of the family—business meetings, quiet evenings at the table, and whispered schemes under candlelight—while hinting at the larger social forces that shape their destiny. Listeners are drawn into a world where land, lineage, and personal desire intersect, promising a compelling exploration of legacy and the human cost of ambition.
