| Summary | "The Tower of Dago" by Mór Jókai is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds around a mysterious and ominous structure known as the Tower of Dago, perched upon the treacherous rocky promontory of the island of Dago. The book explores themes of vengeance, betrayal, and the struggle between good and evil, as well as the dark and twisted repercussions of personal and familial conflicts. The story follows Captain Feodor von Ungern, who is betrayed by his brother Zeno and subsequently outlawed, leading him to reside in the Tower of Dago, where he embraces a life of vengeance against those who have wronged him. As he resorts to treacherous methods for survival, including luring ships to their doom with false signals, the narrative reveals the devastating impact of a life steeped in hatred and darkness. The plot intertwines with the lives of his son Alexander and Zeno’s son Paul, setting the stage for an inevitable confrontation and the potential for reconciliation as they become aware of their fathers' hatred. The culmination builds towards a tragic climax that ultimately leads to Feodor’s demise, leaving contemplation on the consequences of one's choices in life.
