Set off from the rest of Europe by its unique Magyar language and spirit, the country has always been something of an outlier. This book traces Hungary’s development, from its early days as a haven for nomadic tribes to its years as a Soviet satellite state and beyond. All books of the critically-acclaimed Cultures of the World® series ensure an immersive experience by offering vibrant photographs with descriptive nonfiction narratives, and interactive activities such as creating an authentic traditional dish from an easy-to-follow recipe.
