| Summary |
"A lőcsei fehér asszony (I. rész)" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Lőcse, a city in Hungary, exploring themes of tradition, history, and the conflicting nature of a striking female character, Ghéczy Juliánna, also known as the "white lady." The narrative is steeped in Hungarian folklore and reflects on national identity, betrayal, and the female influence in historical events. The opening of the book introduces Lőcse, emphasizing its rich history and imposing walls that have withstood numerous assaults. The reader is introduced to various descriptions of mysterious and poignant paintings of a woman in white, symbolizing duality in her character—betrayer and national martyr. As rumors and folklore surrounding her life circulate within the town, the text hints at a complex interplay of loyalty and treachery that her character embodies, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of identity and historical legacy as the story progresses.
