They Were Found Wanting, Book Two by Miklos Banffy
They Were Divided reflects the rapidly disintegrating course of events in central Europe on the eve of WI. A literary masterpiece, in the foreground it tells the story of Balint and his flawed cousin, Laszlo Gyeroffy, with humor and bittersweet nostalgia for a paradise lost through folly. In the background, the sinister and fast-moving events in the Balkans eventually lead not only to a horrific war, but also to the complete dismemberment of their once-great country.
Miklos Banffy (1873-1950) was variously a diplomat, MP and foreign minister in 1921/22 when he signed the peace treaty with the United States and obtained Hungary's admission to the League of Nations. He was responsible for organizing the last Habsburg coronation, that of King Karl in 1916. His famous Transylvanian Trilogy, They Were Counted, They Were Found Wanting, They Were Divided was first published in Budapest in the 1930s.
