Summary "A Molitor-ház: Detektivregény" by Lajos Biró is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. Set in post-war Budapest around the spring of 1918, the book revolves around a complex family dynamic within the Molitor household, where the themes of war, loss, and generational conflict are keenly explored. Central to the narrative is Molitor Árpád, who engages in billiards while discussing the war, contrasting with his more introspective relative Molitor Géza, who wrestles with the repercussions of their family's legacy and the emotional weight of recent tragedies. The opening of the novel introduces a tense atmosphere among the Molitor family, particularly highlighting the characters' conflicting beliefs and attitudes towards war and heroism. As the family gathers in the billiard room, Molitor Árpád expresses his fervent support for the war and dissatisfaction with the younger generation, while Molitor Géza struggles with his recovery from combat trauma and increasingly feels alienated from his relatives. The dramatization escalates when Géza challenges the older generational views after a shocking death in the family, raising questions about moral responsibility and the cost of living amid societal upheaval. The narrative promises a blend of personal and familial dilemmas set against a tumultuous historical backdrop. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
