Discover Lázár, the international sensation from author Nelio Biedermann, translated into English by Jamie Bulloch. This sweeping epic captures the crumbling world of the Lázár family, Hungarian landowners whose ancient castle borders a forest that drives men to madness.

Follow the Lázárs from the beginning of the twentieth century through the ravages of war and occupation, culminating in the Hungarian National Uprising of 1956. The narrative centers on Lajos von Lázár, who inherits the estate, and his children—a boy who speaks to shadows and a girl who rejects her noble heritage—as they strive for freedom against oppression.
