| Summary |
"Elnémult harangok: Regény" by Viktor Rákosi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on two Hungarian theological students, Simándy Pál and Puskás Gábor, who are studying in Utrecht, Holland. The book likely explores themes of national identity, cultural contrast, and personal aspirations through the characters' experiences as they navigate life in a foreign land. The opening of the novel introduces Simándy and Puskás dining in an old student guesthouse in Köln as they transition to their studies in Utrecht. Their camaraderie is marked by humorous exchanges about their discomfort with the German-speaking surroundings, reflecting Puskás's frustrations with the local culture. Throughout their conversation, Simándy demonstrates a deeper understanding of their situation, discussing the weight of their Hungarian nationality amidst the dominance of the German presence. As they prepare to depart for Utrecht, they are caught in the chaos of a ceremonial event, highlighting the contrasts between their home country and the foreign milieu, setting the stage for a rich exploration of identity and belonging.
