The portryayal of a country between Huns and health resorts, Budapest and Lake Balaton, red pepper and Puszta, a country which is closely linked to Germany in terms of geography, economy and culture but which, nevertheless, still gives rise to romantic transfigurations. In a language sparkling with humorous remarks, Thomas Bauer has written an account of a voyage that portrays Hungary in all its facets. In a manner both charming and brilliant, the author successfully manages to inform the reader – almost just in passing – about Hungary's one-thousand-year-old history.
- Much more than an ordinary travel-guide
- Impressions away from the average tourist sites
- Hungary as popular travel destination
