| Summary | "A Serpolette: Regény" by Lajos Biró is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a depiction of naval maneuvers, highlighting the tension and dynamics between Prince Péter and the vice-admiral Miklós. Central to the narrative is Péter, who embodies a spirit of rebellion against the expectations and constraints of his royal status, showing a longing for freedom and a simpler life. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the setting of a naval exercise, where Prince Péter finds himself critical of the commands being issued and the obstacles imposed by those in higher authority, particularly the vice-admiral. His character is fleshed out through interactions with his staff, especially Baron Ridarsky, who serves as a confidant. As the maneuvers progress, reflections on loyalty, duty, and ambition underscore the prince's internal conflict with the demands of his royal heritage. The narrative sets the stage for Péter's eventual decision to abandon his title in pursuit of a life defined by personal choices, culminating in his resolve to marry Annie, marking a significant turning point from royal obligation to a desire for individual fulfillment.
