An indispensable reference for travelers, anyone who knows a Hungarian or is one, and the just plain interested

What is it to be Hungarian? What does it feel like? Most Hungarians are convinced that the rest of the world just doesn't get them. But Hungarians do often seem to be living proof of the old joke that Magyars are in fact Martians: they may be situated in the very heart of Europe, but they are equipped with a confounding language, extraterrestrial (albeit endearing) accents, and an unearthly way of thinking. What most Hungarians learn from life about the Magyar mind is now available, for the first time, in this user-friendly guide.

István Bori, who holds degrees in geography and history from the University of Szeged, has taught since 1995 at the Bálint Balassi Institute in Budapest, Hungary, where he helped establish the Hungarian Studies Division. His specialties are twentieth-century Hungarian economic history and social geography. Bori lives in Budapest.
