Hungarian Literature in English
A collection of Hungarian books that have been published in English. I'm prioritizing the ones I think are especially good 😄 But open to suggestions. Also adding our Nobel winners, both of them.

I fell in love with Abigail this year, and I hope to read more Magda Szabó and other Hungarian authors - thank you for the list!
Yay! That is great to hear. Honestly I think Szabó's best book is The Moment, but sadly that has not been published in English yet :( Only in French
I'm crossing all my fingers that someone translates it into English 🤞🤞
Ooh love this!! Do you have any particular books you’d suggest starting with from this list?
Either Abigail or Love in a Bottle!
All three look like excellent reads! Thank you for the suggestions—I'm excited to read them :)
But if you like nonfiction, Eminent Hungarians is amazing too
