| Summary |
"Zord idő (2. kötet): Regény három részben" by báró Zsigmond Kemény is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set amidst the political and personal turmoil of a historical period marked by conflicts between the Hungarian crown and the Ottoman Empire, focusing on the struggles faced by the main characters, such as Queen Izabella, who must navigate an uncertain fate with her infant son in a foreign and dangerous landscape. The opening of this installment introduces the suspenseful atmosphere as Queen Izabella grapples with the anxiety of her son's absence while he is in the Sultan's camp. The narrative reveals her desperate attempts to secure his return by sending gifts to influential figures and portrays her inner conflict, torn between maternal love and political duty. Alongside her anxieties, the character of Turgovics Miklós, the city's chief magistrate, is introduced, as he contemplates his precarious situation as a prisoner yet seemingly free. The stage is set for a gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the looming threat of conflict within the historical context of Hungary's struggles against Ottoman incursions.
