Es Hijjaval Talaltattal [They Were Found Wanting]

Miklos Banffy
Revai, Budapest · 1937

First Edition. Very rare first edition in Hungarian of the second part of Banffy's monumental trilogy which depicts the demise of the Transylvanian aristocracy. This is the much sought after edition in two volumes, black cloth with rose and thorn decoration in red and gilt.

Slight spine sunning but a very good sound set. This novel has recently been published in English and has received considerable acclaim. Rare chance to acquire a first edition set in the original Hungarian.

Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
