The volume portrays poor and ordinary people—peasants, families, and frontline soldiers—grappling with war, deprivation, and moral tests. Its opening focuses on András, a Hungarian infantryman, whose stubborn decency, quick wits, and uneasy conscience reveal the human cost of the Great War. The opening of the collection follows András on a perilous WWI patrol after he refuses a sergeant’s stripe, senses that allied Croat positions have collapsed, and volunteers to scout “for mushrooms” with a handful of men. Crawling across exposed slopes under shellfire, the squad steadies itself with talk of providence (notably Medveczki’s calm faith), reaches their regiment for reinforcements, and then at nightfire holds an entire Russian assault at bay until help arrives. At dawn they enter a nearby village, where András disarms and calmly lines up more than a hundred Russian soldiers—moments that mix danger with unexpected fellow-feeling (handshakes before surrender). Threaded through is András’s gnawing worry over a letter about strife between his mother and wife, a feverish dream of their quarrel, and at the end his hard-won sense that what he truly sought amid heroics was inner peace.
