Born in Transylvania in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
Miklos Banffy lived to witness both the zenith of that Empire and
its fall. The short stories in this collection, from the tale of
the idle young man dawdling pleasantly in Venice to the Romanian
villager meditating revenge on his tormentor, draw on the author's
experiences of life, love, sacrifice, betrayal and courage, and
reveal, as a recurring leitmotif, an indomitable will to survive.
The translator, Thomas Sneddon, lives in Budapest where he teaches
translation at the Peter Pazmany University.
