Scandinavian Modern by Magnus Englund and Chrystina Schmidt

Living in Hungary by Jean Luc Soule Living in Hungary by Jean Luc Soule
Sept. 2003. 224pp, 275 colour illus. Hungary is a country that revels in contrast - a land of lakes and foressm, opulent architecture and manicured vineyards, ancient folk traditions and a vibrant modern cultural scene. From townscapes untouched since the days of Empress Maria Theresa to the ancestral way of life of the fishermen on Lake Balaton, Hungary is one of Europe's most fascinating and inspiring countries. This book takes you to Budapest, where the inhabitants of the twin cities Buda and Pest, on facing banks of the Danube, relax in cafes and bathhouses, and where the music of Liszt and Haydn is set against the colourful folk tunes of gypsy musicians. Then explore the magic of the Hungarian provinces: wine tasting in the Tokay region, boat trips along the Danube, bathing in natural hot springs, and visiting castles tucked away in the country's baroque heart. This enchanting country - where history blends into legend and the past rubs shoulders with modernity - is a well kept secret waiting to be discovered.
