| Summary |
"Keltaruusu: Kertomus Unkarin tasangolta" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the vast plains of Hungary and primarily revolves around the life of a young herdsman and a girl named Klaara, who is associated with a mysterious yellow rose that symbolizes their intertwined fates. This narrative captures the essence of Hungarian rural life, infusing elements of romance, humor, and vivid descriptions of the landscape. The opening of the novel introduces a young horseman traversing the serene plains of Hortobágy, where modernity has yet to touch the land. As he rides, he falls into a drowsy reverie, losing track of his surroundings and dropping the yellow rose from his hat—a treasured item that symbolizes his connection to Klaara. Amid his search for the rose, the narrative introduces us to various characters, including another horseman, highlighting the camaraderie and competitive spirit of the herdsmen. The setting elegantly captures the unspoiled beauty of the Hungarian countryside while hinting at a deeper web of relationships and conflicts as it progresses.
