First published in 2005. This is one of the literary memoirs written by Transylvanian aristocrats in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Baron Apor lamented the passing of traditional Transylvanian practices and the Metamorphosis, written in 1783, is not a memoir in the usual sense so much as a record of a vanishing way of life that the author had enjoyed in his youth. Exceptional, enchanting and exhilarating, this account of Transylvania is irresistible.

Baron Péter Apor (1676-1752) came from a long line of Transylvanian aristocrats. Bernard Adams (translator) was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge and specializes in the translation of Hungarian literature.
