Summary "Mákvirágok kertje" by Gyula Krúdy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the backdrop of the Hungarian countryside, specifically around a castle named Margitvár on the banks of the Danube. The narrative centers on Milfay Olivér, a man seeking solace and peace in the castle, while also exploring the themes of ennui and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to the tranquil yet somber setting of Margitvár, where Milfay Olivér arrives to spend his remaining years. The castle, steeped in history and adorned with remnants of past grandeur—like the royal chambers of Maria Theresa—serves as a sanctuary from his burdensome past filled with debts and failed romances. The narrative describes his reflective state, as he contemplates his life and the passage of time, contrasting with the lively atmosphere imagined by the locals. Olivér's interactions with the castle's staff and the peculiar characters who share his solitude set the stage for intriguing developments ahead, hinting at his personal struggles and the potential conflicts with his surroundings.
