Trade review
An unrivalled portrait of the vanished world of pre-1914 Hungary, as seen through the eyes of 2 Transylvanian cousins. The 3rd volume of a prize-winning trilogy, translated by Patrick Thursfield and Countess Banffy-Jelen.
Synopsis
With shooting parties in great country houses, turbulent scenes in parliament and the luxury life in Budapest as the backdrop, this novel forms an indictment of upper-class frivolity and political folly, in which good manners cloak indifference and brutality.
