| Summary |
"Fuimus" by Zsigmond Justh is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the life of Gábor Márfay, who returns home after spending many years abroad, shaped by his father's stringent will. The intricate interplay of familial relationships, expectations, and societal pressures unfolds against a backdrop of Hungarian nobility. The opening of the novel introduces Gábor's circumstances through the reading of his late father's will, which prescribes a strict educational path for him. The narrative swiftly shifts to his mother, Anna, reflecting on her loss and the impact of Gábor’s upbringing away from home. As Gábor arrives back to his family estate, his thoughts reveal his longing for connection and the complexities of his relationships, particularly with his younger brother, Lőrincz. Their interaction hints at a mix of affection and deeper emotional struggles as they navigate the legacy of their father's demands and their cultural identity. The passage captures the themes of longing and the challenges of returning to one’s roots, setting the tone for the exploration of family dynamics that will ensue.
