''Az uj földesur (2. kötet)'' by Mór Jókai is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds around the dynamics of power, property, and intrigue, focusing on characters such as Garanvölgyi Ádám and Kampós, whose actions drive the plot forward. The book explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships within a societal and political context. At the start of the story, the setting is established around Ankerschmidt's new castle, contrasting with the old structure that remains under the watchful eye of Garanvölgyi Ádám. As the mysterious figure Kampós makes regular visits to the dilapidated mansion, we are introduced to his secretive behavior, particularly involving an ebony cabinet that raises suspicion. The tension escalates as authorities led by Bräuhäusel arrive, suspecting Kampós of hiding something significant. Investigations reveal a cache of empty bottles, but the true intrigue lies in other hidden documents, which allude to deeper plots involving familial connections and political tensions tied to a character named Garanvölgyi, setting the stage for unfolding secrets and revelations throughout the narrative.
