Download or read book The Illustrated History of the Hungarian Jews written by Katalin Jalsovszky and published by Vince Books. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Ancient Roman Empire to the present day, the life of the Jewish people in Hungary is documented, aiming to fill the current gap that exists in their history. The analysis focuses on the social and cultural circumstances of this population as well as their background, considered within the context of Hungary’s own past. The chapters journey through the middle ages, the reform age, World War I, and the Holocaust, which concluded with the extermination of the Hungarian Jewry—considered one of Europe’s largest and most important Jewish communities. Accentuated with a striking array of photographs capturing archeological artifacts, architectural relics, and works of art, this consideration delves into this community’s religion, daily life, and the prominent role they have played in the cultural and economic life of modern Hungary. A collection of authentic documents—some of which have been unpublished until now—is also featured.

Download or read book Hungary Between Two Empires 1526 1711 written by Géza Pálffy and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungarian defeat to the Ottoman army at the pivotal Battle of Mohács in 1526 led to the division of the Kingdom of Hungary into three parts, altering both the shape and the ethnic composition of Central Europe for centuries to come. Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526–1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

Download or read book Hungarians and Europe in the Early Middle Ages written by András Róna-Tas and published by . This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lavishly illustrated, the book contains seventy five historical maps and colour plates which visualize the historical background of Hungary and introduces its early history to a broader readership. The early history of Hungarians is embedded into the history of Eurasia and special attention is given to the relationship of the Hungarians with the Khazars and the Bulghar-Turks. The first part deals with methods and sources which can be used for elucidating the ancient history of the Hungarians, relying on research into linguistics, archaeology, anthropology and natural history. The second part traces how the Hungarians came into the Carpathian Basin and answers such questions as: who are the Magyars, from where did they come and how did they conquer the land? It reconstructs and examines their early political and social structure, the economy, and religion, and compares the Hungarian medieval process with the ethnogenetic processes of the Germanic, Slavic and Turkic people.

Download or read book Illustrated Military History of Hungary written by Róbert Hermann and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book which presents Hungary's military history in a readable style, meeting the scientific standards at the same time. A military chronicle which introduces the reader to the key facts and connections involved in the military aspect of Hungarian history, the integration of the country into Western culture and the features of Hungarian military affairs that harmonize with or differ from the main developments in European military affairs.A beautifully designed album which includes more than 120 spectacular and special illustrations and more than 30 detailed campaign maps. There are few European states which have been in existence and constantly maintained their statehood for 1100 years. Arriving in the lands around the Tisza and the Danube in 895-896, the Magyars occupied the whole of the Carpathian Basin within a few years and unified the smaller peoples who lived there. In 907, at the Battle of Pozsony (Pressburg), they demonstrated to the whole of Europe their determination and ability to defend their new homeland. After nearly a century of military expeditions across Europe, the new country finalized its borders and established its authority. Its rulers, and particularly the first king, St Stephen, made Hungary into a respected force in Europe, the continent for which it was to serve as a defensive shield over the next thousand years.
Download or read book Jewish Cuisine in Hungary written by András Koerner and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 National Jewish Book Award in the category of Food Writing & Cookbooks. The author refuses to accept that the world of pre-Shoah Hungarian Jewry and its cuisine should disappear almost without a trace and feels compelled to reconstruct its culinary culture. His book―with a preface by Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett―presents eating habits not as isolated acts, divorced from their social and religious contexts, but as an organic part of a way of life. According to Kirshenblatt-Gimblett: “While cookbooks abound, there is no other study that can compare with this book. It is simply the most comprehensive account of a Jewish food culture to date.” Indeed, no comparable study exists about the Jewish cuisine of any country, or―for that matter―about Hungarian cuisine. It describes the extraordinary diversity that characterized the world of Hungarian Jews, in which what could or could not be eaten was determined not only by absolute rules, but also by dietary traditions of particular religious movements or particular communities. Ten chapters cover the culinary culture and eating habits of Hungarian Jewry up to the 1940s, ranging from kashrut (the system of keeping the kitchen kosher) through the history of cookbooks, the food traditions of weekdays and holidays, the diversity of households, and descriptions of food and hospitality industries to the history of some typical dishes. Although this book is primarily a cultural history and not a cookbook, it includes 83 recipes, as well as nearly 200 fascinating pictures of daily life and documents.
