Az Éhes Város
1900
Budapest, 1900. A young bank clerk named Orsovai Pál leaves a doctor's office with a death sentence hanging over him: he must travel to the seaside resort of Abbáziá for treatment, but he earns barely enough to survive. As he walks through the crowded streets of his hungry city, he calculates and dreams, scheming for the money that might save his life. Then he meets Elly Hutkinson, the daughter of an American railway magnate, and everything shifts. Molnár captures the raw pulse of a metropolis where wealth and poverty exist in brutal proximity, where a young man's ambitions collide with the iron gates of class. This is a novel about desire and desperation, about what a person will risk when mortality makes strangers of caution and pride. Written when Molnár was just twenty-three, it pulses with the restless energy of a city and a generation hungry for something more.
