It is always worth turning to our old grandparents. Especially in travel times. And even more so if their actions and morals show the way to the man of today, the leaders of today, as a torch. There were three generations in Hungarian history, in the words of Gyula Szekfű, who created modern, popular Hungary, and whose greatest personalities and politicians were also significant scholars of the country. They were the ones who represented Kölcsey's slogan "The home before all!" They are the ones who created the political arena of compromise, and they are the ones who, as the presidents of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, were also the leaders of the ministries of culture in the half-century leading up to the Trianon tragedy. The careers of József Eötvös, Ágoston Trefort, Menyhért Lónyay, Lóránt Eötvös and Albert Berzeviczy, his work as a scientist and politician are an imprint of an age: the age of scientist politicians. This volume is about this disease and its "status men."
