A Berzsenyi-leányok tizenkét vőlegénye: Tollrajzok a mai Budapestről

A breezy seaside promenade in Ostende sets the stage for a delicate encounter between Elza, a poised baroness‑in‑training, and Miklós, a confident hussar lieutenant. Their first‑kiss‑like conversation crackles with playful teasing, hinting at the nervous excitement of a young woman on the brink of an arranged marriage. The scene captures the clash of personal longing and the rigid expectations of aristocratic society, all framed by the fading light of an August evening.

Beyond the initial flirtation, the narrative unfolds as a series of vivid sketches of contemporary Budapest, observed through the eyes of its protagonists. The author blends witty dialogue with thoughtful reflections on love, duty, and the shifting rhythms of a city in transition. Listeners will be treated to a charming portrait of early‑20th‑century life, where humor and sentiment walk hand in hand, inviting them to linger over each delicate “tollrajz” of the capital’s streets and hearts.
