Description
The Transylvanian Trilogy, Volume I They Were Counted is a historical epic set in the Hungarian aristocracy just before World War I. Written by Count Miklós Bánffy in the 1930s, this novel was first discovered by the English-speaking world after the fall of communism in Hungary and has since been translated to critical acclaim. The story revolves around two upper-class cousins, Balint Abády and László, who embody contrasting values. As the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire unfold, their lives become intertwined with a decadent society on the brink of destruction. Bánffy's vivid depiction of this lost world is marked by intrigues, love affairs, duels, murder, comedy, and tragedy, set against the rugged landscape of Transylvania. This first novel in the trilogy combines elements of nostalgia, insight into a collapsing empire, and epic drama, drawing comparisons to the works of Joseph Roth and Tolstoy.
