Shooting parties in great country houses, turbulent scenes in parliament and the luxury life in Budapest provide the backdrop for this gripping, prescient novel, forming a chilling indictment of upper-class frivolity and political folly in which good manners cloak indifference and brutality. Abady becomes aware of the plight of a group of Romanian mountain peasants and champions their cause, while Gyeroffy dissipates his resources at the gaming tables, mirroring the decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire itself.<br><br>This is the first volume Bánffy''s trilogy, which continues with <B>They Were Found Wanting</B> and <B>They Were Divided</B><I>.</I> It was rediscovered for an international readership after the fall of communism in Hungary.<br><br><B>With a Foreword by Patrick Leigh-Fermor</B><br><B>Translated from Hungarian by Patrick Thursfield and Katalin Banffy-Jelen</B><br><B>WINNER OF THE WEIDENFELD TRANSLATION PRIZE</B></P>
