| Summary |
"A pékné" by Dezső Szomory is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Hódl Józsi, a melancholic baker's apprentice navigating the struggles and aspirations of life in Budapest. As he drifts through the urban landscape, his thoughts circle around a mysterious woman known as the pékné, who symbolizes his unfulfilled desires and deeper yearnings. The opening of the novel presents Hódl Józsi as he reflects on his life and surroundings. Depicted as a disillusioned figure with a sense of hopelessness, he traverses the city and finds himself entranced by the idea of the pékné, whose image represents both beauty and unattainable dreams. As he interacts with Lóri, a barmaid at a local café, a contrast between his fantasies and the harshness of his reality becomes evident. Hódl's thoughts reveal a longing for connection and fulfillment amidst a backdrop of monotony and despair, setting the stage for a rich exploration of desire, identity, and the human condition throughout the novel.
