Set against the backdrop of shooting parties in grand country houses, turbulent parliamentary sessions, and the opulent lifestyle of Budapest, this novel offers a gripping and prescient critique of upper-class frivolity and political folly. Beneath a veneer of good manners lies indifference and brutality. The narrative follows Abady as he champions the cause of Romanian mountain peasants, while Gyeroffy squanders his fortune, mirroring the decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
