Description
The Hungarians: A Thousand Years of Victory in Defeat For over 1,000 years, the Hungarians have navigated a complex and often tumultuous history, marked by periods of triumph and tragedy. From their arrival in the Carpathian Basin in 896 to the present day, this comprehensive history explores the nation's politics, culture, economics, and emotions. Through a nuanced and engaging narrative, Paul Lendvai brings to life the Hungarian people's experiences, including their struggles for freedom and their encounters with various empires and tyrannies. The book delves into the country's revolutionary triumphs and traumatic setbacks, such as the Treaty of Trianon, and examines the interplay between progressivism and nationalism that has shaped Hungarian history. By exploring the lives of both heroes and traitors, Lendvai offers a rich and multifaceted portrait of a nation that has produced a remarkable array of great scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs.
