Egy játékos, a ki nyer: Regény by Mór Jókai

"Egy játékos, a ki nyer: Regény" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a post-war European setting, where the protagonist, Metell, navigates his newfound ownership of a dilapidated castle and the challenges that come with it, including encounters with unique characters like Axamita, the castle's female overseer. The narrative hints at themes of redemption, social status, and the struggle for survival amidst historical and personal upheaval. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the backdrop of a recent European war and the remnants of its aftermath, such as the auctioning of abandoned castles. The protagonist, Metell, finds himself amidst an auction of the Tersato and Frangipani castles, where he witnesses the absurdity of their depreciation. After acquiring the Frangipani castle at a low price, he learns that Axamita, an intriguing and resilient woman, is its caretaker.
