| Summary |
"Éjfél: Magyar írók misztikus novellái" by Aladár Bálint et al. is a collection of mystical short stories written in the early 20th century. The compilation features various Hungarian authors exploring the themes of mysticism and the subconscious, revealing the intricate layers of human experiences and emotions. Through their narratives, the writers delve into the complexities of existence, the unknown realms within individuals, and the intersections of reality and illusion. The opening of the collection introduces a philosophical foreword by Dezső Kosztolányi, who reflects on the essence of human life and the mysteries that lurk within the soul, even in an age dominated by scientific understanding. He posits that while the external world may appear rational, the internal world remains chaotic and filled with enigmas. The text then transitions into the first story, which centers around a character named Lovagh, who experiences disorienting visions while at the opera, causing him to confront unsettling truths about himself and the human experience. Through vivid imagery and evocative prose, the narrative hints at deeper psychological explorations that intertwine with the fantastical, setting the tone for the mystical journeys yet to unfold in the rest of the collection.
