The Chain Bridge, built 1842-1849 was the first permanent bridge connecting Buda and Pest. It came to symbolize the rise odf the bourgeosie. Jozsef Lengyel tells the story of the three men who built the bridge. The author parallels the story of another age with Hungary in 1959. This fusion represents the author's lyrical vision of faith in man, and man's triumphant progress through the ages.
