"A gazdag szegények: Regény" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely explores themes of social class and the contrasting lives of rich and poor individuals, centering on the experiences of its main character, a young woman from the countryside who has come to Budapest seeking work. As the narrative unfolds, the disparity between wealth and poverty becomes evident, setting the stage for character development and social commentary. The beginning of the novel introduces us to a frozen Budapest, where a heavy snowstorm has caused travel delays at a train station. Here, we meet a variety of characters, including a vigilant detective and a dog named Vigyázz, as they await the arrival of a delayed train. Among the passengers is a young woman who has just arrived in the city, carrying her belongings and a determination to find work as a seamstress. She is taken under the wing of a compassionate railway worker named Ádám, who offers her a place to stay with his wife, Zsuzsa. Their interactions hint at the struggles and relationships that will develop throughout the story, showcasing the challenges faced by those trying to navigate life in an unfamiliar city.
