Vámos Miklós: Cím nélkül

God helps those who help themselves. Help others, and the mess we call life for simplicity’s sake intensifies. This time in the body, soul and heart of rural postmen. We cry, we laugh, we love, we want, we exist – with or without a title.

Kocsis Noémi: Bakancslista - Legendás Magyarország - 500 rejtélyes hazai hely és úti cél

Noémi Kocsis revives stories that have surrounded us for centuries, perhaps even in our own narrower environment. She tells about the "yeti" of the Mátra, which is still feared today, or the werewolf of Putnok; but it reveals who the beautiful women were, after whom the famous Eger wine valley was named. We are also let in on which Hungarian well we should throw a coin if we want great luck...

How many regions of our country can hide legendary treasures? And how many of our treasures have become legends? How many kings, Turkish pashas, outlaws, lords and mistresses, separated lovers are kept "alive" by a local or nationwide legend? Which tree, valley, well, strangely shaped rock is the story of a fairy tale?

From Noémi Kocsis's book, you can learn how to conjure up love and wealth by following the customs of our ancestors and visiting certain locations in the country. And also where to find legendary machines, statues, inventions and buildings. Where should you go on a trip in search of traces of fairies, elves and other legendary creatures? Which of our castles still have ghosts wandering around these days?

In the beautiful book, you can read not only the legends created during the Hungarian conquest or the centuries of the Middle Ages, during the subjugation and the wars of independence, but also quite a few of those born recently. We believe that in the 21st century we are just as receptive to the magic and beauty of mystery as our predecessors were in the past.

We encourage everyone to consider the introduced locations - divided by county - as destinations and travel around the country in search of secrets!

Kordos Szabolcs: Egy város legújabb titkai

Budapest is even more exciting than we think. Every street corner hides secrets; we just have to know what to look for. 

The third but independent volume of Szabolcs Kordos's bestseller series, like a kind, well-informed friend, points you to a building and asks the best opening question of any story: "Did you know?"

The rooms of the Károlyi Palace tell us unusual stories about romance, politics and wealth. We can enter the residence of the British ambassador and the secrets of the most famous shopping center will be revealed to us. Finally, we also meet Budapest's fiancé.

The Egy város legújabb titkai can be read chapter by chapter, or can be read all at once. It just depends on the reader's curiosity.
