| Summary |
"Emberek a kövek között: Regény" by Cécile Tormay is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the struggles and emotional turmoil of its protagonist, Jella, as she navigates life in a rural village marked by harsh social dynamics, familial relationships, and personal challenges. The narrative begins with Jella’s thoughts and observations of her surroundings, highlighting the connection between the human experience and the landscape of rocks and wilderness. At the start of the novel, Jella is introduced as a young girl who experiences a mix of fascination and fear as she watches a stone roll into an abyss, symbolizing the unpredictability of life. As she interacts with the environment and the people of her village, we witness her reflections on past hardships and the complicated relationship with her mother. The opening establishes the oppressive atmosphere in the village, where gossip and judgment forge a climate of hostility, particularly towards those perceived as different or ostracized, setting the stage for Jella's inner conflicts and the societal challenges she faces.
