Szerelem bolondjai

The book opens with a lively, tongue‑in‑cheek meditation on love’s paradoxes: is it a noble philosophy or a delightful madness? The narrator wanders through bizarre historical episodes—from Roman revelries to Moorish cliffs of doomed lovers—showing how every culture has its own brand of romantic folly. This playful essay sets the tone for a story that treats affection as both a grand adventure and a source of comic disaster.

Against this backdrop, a cast of eccentric Budapest residents becomes entangled in a series of absurd yet heartfelt pursuits. A shy poet, a flamboyant socialite, and a skeptical scholar each chase their own version of love, their missteps echoing the ancient tales sketched earlier. Their escapades blend witty dialogue with keen observations of society, promising a charming, bittersweet look at how desire can both uplift and unhinge.
