Only the people who know their past have a future - with the old saying in mind, Gulliver Publishing House presents its new series to school readers. The pages of the eight volumes of Magyar Históriak bring to life the history of Hungarians from ancient times to the present day, recalling old legends and traditions, tragic or glorious events often surrounded by legends, centuries gone by and events of the recent past.
TÖRÖKVÉSZ reports on the one-hundred-and-fifty-year struggle for survival of the Kingdom of Hungary, which fell to pieces after the Mohács tragedy, on the dramatic tension between the Christian world and the conquering Turkish power. The volume tells about the life-and-death struggle of the brave men of Végvár and the janissaries, the vulnerability of the people living in Hódoltság, the golden age of Transylvania, and the Reformation. It tells how the Hungarian land became the country of the Habsburgs, and how European cooperation put an end to the rule of the Ottomans after the recapture of Buda.
