Summary:  They Were Counted, the first novel in the trilogy, introduces us to a decadent, frivolous, and corrupt society unwittingly bent on its own destruction during the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Bnffys lush depiction of an opulent lost paradise focuses on two upper-class cousins who couldnt be more different: Count Balint Abdy, a liberal politician who compassionately defends his homelands downtrodden Romanian peasants, and his dissipated cousin Lszl, whose life is a whirl of parties, balls, hunting, and gambling. They Were Counted launches a story that brims with intrigues, love affairs, duels, murder, comedy, and tragedy, set against the rugged and ravishing scenery of Transylvania. Along with the other two novels in the trilogyThey Were Found Wanting and They Were Dividedit combines a Proustian nostalgia for the past, insight into a collapsing empire reminiscent of the work of Joseph Roth, and the drama and epic sweep of Tolstoy.
