description: Transporting stories of intrigue superstition and rivalry from a European master in English for the first timeIn this stark haunting collection Mikls Bnffy narrates with wry wisdom stories of cunning betrayal and myth ranging from classical antiquity to the Transylvania of his own day. These are communities of sharp rivalries and religious superstition: young Borblka about to marry an unsuitable man receives strange counsel from a suspicious figure in her village; four men seek to exploit the captive Gavrila Lung for money while mountain wolves howl in the distance; when Old Damaskin betrays his stepson to hold on to his land his wife extracts bizarre revenge.Translated into English for the first time by the award-winning Len Rix this collection further establishes Bnffy as one of the foremost European writers of the twentieth century.
