Abstract

In the first decade after the collapse of state communism, Transylvania-born Ádám Bodor’s novel Sinistra District has been praised as one of the most accomplished allegories about Ceaupescu’s totalitarian regime. Reread today, the novel reveals its virtue as a historiographical reflection of much larger time-span. Looking at the “natural history“ and ethnography of Sinistra District , the author draws parallels with Transylvanian regional historiographies, from the Enlightenment to the 20th century, including references to the local lore.
