Summary "Egy mérnök regénye" by Albert Pálffy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the aftermath of the Hungarian War of Independence and follows the life of a young widow, Szabolcsy Gáborné, and her son Gábor as they navigate poverty and societal expectations. The book delves into themes of struggle, resilience, and the quest for identity as Gábor grows up without knowing the full truth of his heritage. The opening of the novel introduces the widow, a skilled seamstress who works tirelessly to support her son while having previously enjoyed a more privileged life. As they face increasing hardship, the widow's health deteriorates, leading to her untimely death and leaving young Gábor orphaned. The community steps in to place him in a charity institution run by a benevolent bishop, where his intelligence quickly shines through. The narrative sets up Gábor's journey toward becoming a successful engineer against a backdrop of social challenges and personal discovery, foreshadowing a deeper exploration of his roots and familial legacy.
