Glória és más novellák by Lajos Biró
"Glória és más novellák" by Lajos Biró is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into the intricacies of human relationships, often highlighting themes of love, social status, and personal ambition. A central character in one of the stories is Csillag Árpád, a diligent bank clerk who finds himself entangled in the complexities of romance and societal expectations. The opening of "Glória és más
novellák" introduces us to Csillag Árpád, a dedicated employee at the First Hungarian Industrial and Credit Bank, who, on a winter evening filled with optimism after receiving his salary, contemplates marriage and his future. He encounters his colleague Törő Viktort, whose invitation to an orpheum leads him to a surprising evening filled with luxury and the intriguing presence of a captivating Spanish dancer named Glória. Csillag's excitement quickly morphs into financial panic when he faces the stark reality of affording such lavishness, culminating in a humiliating moment that sets the stage for a humorous yet poignant exploration of love, propriety, and societal expectations.
