| Summary |
"Szerelem bolondjai" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the various follies and extremes people go to in the name of love, introducing readers to a colorful cast of characters who embody the theme of romantic obsession. The narrative explores both humorous and tragic aspects of love, revealing how it can make fools of even the most rational individuals. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a captivating exploration of love's irrationality. It begins with a whimsical preface that provocatively questions the title and concept of "love's fools," engaging the reader with the idea that love is, indeed, a complex form of madness that transcends philosophical wisdom. Following this, the reader is introduced to the first character, a young man hopelessly in love with a beautiful Swedish girl named Karolin, who is a talented animal tamer by profession. The protagonist is portrayed as a poetic and passionate individual who becomes deeply envious and anxious of her friendship with a ferocious tiger, creating a vivid and emotionally charged atmosphere where love and jealousy collide.
