Bolya Zoltán - Ököljog

Ököljog is an autobiographical book by Zoltán Bolya that takes the reader into the criminal underworld of 1990s Hungary. It follows the life of a former mafioso who turned away from crime, rising from a petty car thief to an investor, and from a skinny boy to a man weighing 130 kilograms.

The book offers a look at the lights and shadows of nightlife, including the worlds of bouncers and debt collectors, nightclub owners and heads of security firms. Stories about legendary figures and well-known power players come to life on its pages.

Bolya writes candidly about a period when the underworld lived by its own code, in which a given word and the family were sacred. The paperback edition, around 350 pages, was published in 2021 by Művelt Nép Könyvkiadó. Dimensions 140 x 215 mm, weight 300 g.
