MURDER IN THE MOUNTAINSTranslated by PATRICK THURSFIELDfrom Miklós Bánffy's novel Megszámláltattál ["They were counted..."]Tanger,MoroccoMiklós BáníTy's Transylvanian Trilogy was originally published by Erdélyi SzépmívesCéh at Kolozsvár. The three volumes, Megszámláltattál (1934), "...és hijjávaltaláltattál" (1937) and Darabokra szaggattatol (1940) have now been translated intoEnglish by Patrick Thursfield and Katalin Bánffy-Jelen, the author's daughter, underthe titles of "They were counted...", "They were found wanting...", and "They weredivided...". One of the principal sub plots concerns the efforts of the trilogy's hero, oneCount Bálint Abády (who, like BáníTy himself, was both a wealthy Transylvanianlandowner and high profile politician) to alleviate the lot of a group of Roumanianpeasants living in the mountains of the Kalotaszeg. Abády succeeds in his mission onlyin the third book of the trilogy, but the following extracts from They were counted...relate how the interest of the Hungarian aristocrat was aroused by what was happeningin a remote province where the Abády forest holdings were situated.Megszámláltattál... was republished in Budapest by Helikon Kiadó in 1982 and thewhole trilogy in the autumn of 1993.These extracts begin when Bálint Abády has gone to visit his forests for the firsttime. He is 26 and the year is 1904The camp was well situated, with a low stone wall forming a semi-circleunder an outcrop of rock. In the centre a pillar made of a tree trunk supporteda roof thickly covered by fir boughs. Below, beds of more fir boughs neatlytied together were ready for the rugs that would be thrown over them.Firewood, long dry branches, had been laid against the entire length of thestone wall. When lit these would have to be fed all night so that those insidethe shelter would not freeze to death...Darkness fell and Zutor handed out the bread, bacon and onions that wereto be their evening meal. The men, knowing their station in life, settled nearthe fire a little distant from the place accorded to the master; and when Zutorgave out the large tin cups generously filled with brandy, they all drank noisily,with much clearing of throats, thereby following the custom of the mountainsand showing their appreciation that so little water had been added to the spirit.Hungarian Studies 11 fl (1996)0236-6568/96/$ 5.00 © 96 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest
