''Sárga rózsa; A Kráó'' by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the vast plains of the Hortobágy and revolves around the lives of various characters, primarily focusing on the young gulyásbojtár (herdsman) and a girl named Klári, exploring themes of love, rivalry, and local folklore. Through its vivid descriptions and character interactions, the narrative hints at the cultural landscape of Hungary during that era. The opening of the novel introduces a world where trains have not yet traversed the plains, emphasizing the untamed beauty of the landscape. We meet a gulyásbojtár on horseback, who is preoccupied with a yellow rose pinned to his hat, suggesting a connection to Klári, who works in the local inn. The scene unfolds with the gulyásbojtár’s carefree demeanor and hints of a love triangle involving Klári and a csikósbojtár (horse herder), setting the stage for a melodious exploration of relationships and societal norms in rural Hungary. The interactions are rich with humor and emotional undertones, establishing a vivid backdrop for the unfolding narrative.
