| Summary |
"Kálozdy Béla: Regény (1. kötet)" by Zsolt Beöthy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life and experiences of the titular character, Kálozdy Béla, a professor navigating the complexities of family life and societal expectations amid the evolving landscape of education and personal relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Professor Hajós Gábor, a dedicated educator who is grappling with the joys and challenges of fatherhood while also teaching at a college. We see his initial excitement upon the birth of his children, particularly his struggle with his son, János (referred to affectionately as "Buksi"), who demonstrates an unruly and obstinate nature. The narrative showcases the professor's reflections on parenting, pedagogy, and his relationships within his family and the academic world. A significant aspect of this portion of the text also highlights the contrasting characters of János and his younger brother Mátyás, as well as the introduction of Mari, a girl raised in the household who forms a complex relationship with the professor's family and with Béla, hinting at romantic tensions that may develop throughout the story.
