''Nincsen ördög; A Magláy család; A ki holta után áll boszut'' by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of its characters as they navigate various societal and personal challenges, intertwining themes of family and fate. The narrative begins with a journey on a train, gradually introducing key figures, including a wealthy family and a mysterious child. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene aboard a train traveling through picturesque landscapes, where a narrator encounters various characters, including a rich nobleman's entourage and a quiet, mute child named Jemmy. As the journey progresses, a conversation unfolds between the narrator and a doctor regarding the boy's past and his speech difficulties. This portion lays the groundwork for themes of connection, misunderstanding, and the complexities of human relationships, hinting at how these elements could intertwine in the greater narrative of the novel.
