The story unfolds in a war-torn Hungary and is centered around the wealthy landowner Botsinkay Gáspár, who navigates the challenges posed by political upheaval and personal relationships. As the narrative develops, it delves into themes of loyalty, wealth, and survival amidst the chaos of the period. The opening of the novel introduces us to a desolate landscape dramatically shaped by the ravages of war, flooding, and the Turkish occupation. Botsinkay Gáspár, the central character, is introduced as the last prosperous landowner in a region that bears the scars of destruction, including abandoned villages and remnants of past conflicts. Amidst discussions of wealth and survival, Gáspár faces the impending threat of war, leading to conversations about hidden treasures and the need for caution. As the story begins to unfold, we see Gáspár preparing for both the possible loss of his possessions and the safety of his family, hinting at the intrigues and adventures that will ensue throughout the tale.
