It is almost impossible to summarize Marcell Jankovics' incredibly diverse work in a single book.

This volume tries to capture and present the most important areas, the most interesting details and connections of the Kossuth and Balázs Béla Prize-winning creative activities, entitled The Artist of the Nation. The writing of film historian Zoltán Varga paints a portrait of an animated film and visual artist: his understanding analysis opens up new dimensions to the oeuvre marked by Sisyphus, Prometheus or the Fighters. Mihály Hoppál's ethnologist-folklorist essay pays tribute to the public, the folktale researcher, the Renaissance-educated thinker, to whose name, in addition to the book Symbol, there are numerous interesting and progressive works.

MMA Publishing's richly illustrated, imposing album brings to life Marcell Jankovics' incomparably diverse oeuvre with partly well-known and partly previously unpublished images.
