Huszka József - Tárgyi ethnográfiánk őstörténeti vonatkozásai BK24-177185

This work by József Huszka, a classic of its field, examines the link between material ethnography and prehistory. The author shows how ethnography can help uncover the origins and early history of the Hungarian nation, reaching far beyond the period covered by written sources and archaeological finds.

The book highlights how traditions, objects and customs preserved in folk spirit and popular culture carry valuable information about the formation, mixing and mutual contact of peoples. Material remains also bear witness to past occupations, crafts and art.

Special attention is paid to the history of the Hungarian people before the conquest of the homeland. The author stresses that the Hungarians arrived in the Carpathian Basin already as a developed, mature nation. Originally published in 1900, this paperback edition has 64 pages and is published by Nemzeti Örökség Kiadó.
