A ciklámen és más novellák

"A ciklámen és más novellák" by Lajos Biró is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories explore themes of childhood innocence, emotional complexities, and human relationships, focusing on characters you might encounter in everyday life. One of the notable stories in this collection revolves around a little girl and her affection for a cyclamen plant, which serves as a symbol of nurturing and care. At the start of the collection, we follow a four-year-old girl who is depicted as charming yet ordinary, not a fairy tale princess but a relatable child. Her life takes an interesting turn after she receives a cyclamen plant, which becomes a source of joy and responsibility for her. The narrative delves into her eagerness to care for the plant, showing how her tenderness evolves as she grapples with adult emotions such as love, loss, and defiance, ultimately leading to humorous yet poignant consequences within her family dynamics.
