''A kik kétszer halnak meg (2. rész)'' by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens within a grand but deserted estate, introducing the character of the old Countess Temetvényi Pálma. Through her isolated existence in a meticulously curated artificial garden, the themes of loneliness, memory, and the passage of time begin to emerge, hinting at a deeper story involving family and legacy. The beginning of the narrative establishes a stark contrast between the life of the aging Countess and the vibrant world outside her walls. It describes her daily routine filled with artificial flowers and meticulous care, emphasizing her refusal to engage with the outside world. As the chapter unfolds, we also meet two young characters, a boy and a girl, who escape from the confines of their aristocratic lives to explore and contemplate freedom, adding layers of youthful curiosity and the desire for adventure to the story. Their interactions set the stage for themes of childhood innocence against the backdrop of adult responsibilities and secrets, indicating a rich tapestry of interconnected lives and histories waiting to unfold.
