Summary "Az éhes város" by Ferenc Molnár is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Orsovai Pál, a young bank clerk dealing with his health issues and financial constraints while navigating the social landscape of Budapest. The themes of ambition, love, and societal expectations are likely explored through his interactions, particularly as he encounters the wealthy American railway magnate's daughter, Elly. The opening of the book introduces us to Orsovai Pál visiting a doctor for a concerning health issue. The doctor informs him he must go to Abbáziá for treatment, which raises Orsovai’s fears of how to finance this trip. As he leaves the medical office, he contemplates his dire financial situation, reflecting on the distinct social strata in Budapest. He is portrayed as a seemingly ordinary young man with dreams of a better life, particularly as he plans to seek a loan from his bank. The scene sets the stage for his character's struggle between desire and reality, hinting at the complexities and challenges he will face as he encounters the wealth and allure of the Hutkinson family.
