Summary "A mennyei küldönc" by Dezső Szomory is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This work features a narrative centered around a character who, despite making vows to lead a peaceful life with his beloved wife and daughters, becomes a seaborne doctor and embarks on a perilous journey. The story seems to explore themes of duty, love, and adventure as the protagonist encounters significant challenges, particularly during conflicts at sea. The opening portion of the book introduces the protagonist who reflects on his past decisions and obligations, particularly to his family. He details how the call of duty compels him to accept a position aboard a ship despite the dangers, including attacks from the Germans. As he sets sail, he experiences a juxtaposition of emotions, from light-heartedness to dread as he anxiously considers his family’s well-being, especially regarding an unpaid life insurance policy. The tension escalates dramatically when the ship is attacked, leading to a catastrophic torpedo strike that leaves the protagonist fighting for survival in the depths of a mysterious underwater world called Capillária, hinting at further fantastical adventures and explorations of human relationships within this novel.
