"Mesék és regék" by Mór Jókai is a collection of stories and legends written in the late 19th century. The work explores themes from myth, history, and folklore, likely focusing on ancient narratives and figures from pre-biblical times. A prominent character introduced in the opening chapter is Álmodád, the beloved granddaughter of Noah, who symbolizes the connection between heaven and earth through her mystical abilities. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Álmodád, a youthful maiden with a unique bond to both animals and the divine. The setting is a pre-flood world filled with vibrant flora and fauna, where humanity still retains a deep connection to nature and the spirit realm. The opening establishes a rich, lush environment characterized by extraordinary elements such as a thick, warm atmosphere and mythical creatures, painting a vivid picture of a world before the great deluge. Through Álmodád’s dreams and her encounters with Azrael, her celestial lover, we begin to see the struggle between divine intentions and human actions that set the stage for the impending cataclysm.
