Nyáry Krisztián: Merész magyarok - 30 emberi történet

Krisztián Nyáry wrote in his success books entitled Így szerettek ők about the fate-forming power of love, and in Igazi hősök about the lives that became exemplary by personal decisions. In the sequel he will list 30 Hungarians who were able to stay human even in the most difficult situations, and for whom their self-identity and inner courage overwrote everything even in the most extreme historical situations. Hungarians who followed their own values ​​with unwavering firmness, who comfort others even in the darkest hours, who were not afraid to create something new, even if others did not believe in them, and who were relentlessly loyal to themselves. The school founder Blanka Teleki, who could not even be broken by castle prison; Károly Takács, the athlete who lost his right hand and became an Olympic champion using his left hand; Gedeon Richter, the founder of the Hungarian pharmaceutical industry, who was unable to break away from his homeland even in his death throes; the Syrian immigrant Fadlallah el Hedad Mihály, who made the stallion in Bábolna the best in the world; or Sarah the Savior, who testified that inhuman laws must not be obeyed. They were bold and Hungarian. They were all Hungarians.

"They, too, were afraid, like the majority, of failure, or shame. But they were more afraid that their humanity would be harmed if they did not confront the inhuman." Krisztián Nyáry

Vekerdy Tamás: Honnan? Hová? 

The psychologist is visited by a young lady in his office after working hours. She doesn't want anything. Just wants to talk. She asks questions. The questions - about the meaning and purpose of life, the origin of man and the world, and what will happen after death - are unanswerable. You could talk about it, but not now, after business hours. The young lady asks to go out for a beer with the psychologist, which he refuses, but gives a new appointment for the conversation. Our protagonist - the special visitor – brings along her boyfriend and girlfriend to the appointment. The four of them talk...

In his usual direct and comprehensible style, Tamás Vekerdy's book is about the important issues of life, and tries to give guidance to young people (and not quite young people) during adolescence and beyond.
