Miklós Bánffy
These two interlinked novels chart the unraveling of the Hungarian nobility on the eve of the Great War. Through the lens of Count Balint Abády’s private struggles and public duties, Bánffy exposes political corruption, social stagnation, and personal betrayals that foreshadow empire-wide collapse. Rich Transylvanian estates, ballrooms in Budapest, and parliamentary corridors form the backdrop for a chronicle of loyalty tested by love, debt, and national crisis.
