Reflecting on the rapidly disintegrating course of events in Central Europe, this account centers on the lives of Transylvanian Count Balint Abady, his beloved Adrienne, and his flawed cousin Laszlo Gveroffy, who dies in poverty and neglect. Told with humor and bittersweet nostalgia, this book chronicles the sinister and fast-moving events in Montenegro, the Balkan Wars, and the apparent encirclement of Germany and Austria-Hungary by Britain, France, and Russia. This compelling novel deals with Hungarian politics on the verge of collapse and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand as the youth of Hungary march gaily off not only to their death on the battle field but also to the disintegration of their once-great country. "Reflexionando sobre el curso de desintegracion rapida de los acontecimientos en Europa central, este cuento se centra en la vida del conde transilvano Balint Abady, su amada Adriana y su primo "defectuoso "Laszlo Gveroffy, que muere en la pobreza y el abandono. Contado con humor y nostalgia agridulce, este libro narra los sucesos siniestros y vertiginosos en Montenegro, la guerra de los Balcanes y el cerco aparente de Alemania y Austria-Hungria por Gran Bretana, Francia y Rusia. Esta novela absorbente trata sobre la politica de Hungria al borde del colapso y el asesinato del archiduque Franz Ferdinand mientras los jovenes de Hungria marchan alegremente, no solamente a sus muertes en el campo de batalla, sino tambien a la desintegracion de su otrora gran pais."
