Álmok éjszakája
About This Book
The narrative follows a married couple who, after a masked ball, exchange confessions about furtive attractions and half-remembered encounters that awaken latent desires and jealousy. Their candid talk brings to the surface dreams and unspoken longings that unsettle moral certainty, prompting the husband to roam through nocturnal city scenes where he encounters erotic temptations, mysterious figures, and episodes that seem alternately alluring and menacing. The account shifts between waking reality and dreamlike sequences, tracing how fantasy, guilt, and curiosity strain marital trust. Through intimate domestic detail and surreal nighttime episodes, the work probes the instability of desire and the thin border between conscious fidelity and unconscious impulse.
