Once Upon Transylvania - Joseph Berenyi, Regina Berenyi

For most of us, when we think of Transylvania we think of vampires and werewolves, but Joseph Berényi shows us a land of bears, mountains and the descendants of Attila the Hun. Joseph was born in 1925 to a unique period in Transylvania’s history. After 1000 years of being Hungarian soil, his homeland had recently been annexed to Romania.
A captivating storyteller, he describes with earthy Rabelaisian humour early escapades, including sledges and a wolf dog, reminiscent of a Boys Own Annual. As his story shifts from bustling medieval Brassó to the silent Carpathian wilderness, it is more like White Fang at Walden Pond. Joseph walks a singular path away from the madding crowd. His love for wildlife and the beauty of mountain forests shines through every page.
This vivid memoir becomes more than the chronicle of his own adventures in hunting, border crossing and war – it is a record of a society in transition. Now available.
