- The authors, historians, literary historians, archeologists and ethnographers, eminent researchers in their field, provide a comprehensive overview of the history of Hungarian culture. The first volume of the two-volume work traces the culture of the Magyars from their centuries-long history in the Carphatian Basin until the end of the 18th century. The various chapters of the volume provide a picture of the great historical periods and stylistic trends, but without limiting themselves to culture (the arts, education and science) in favour of including a discussion of lifestyle, mentality and the changing relationship of man and nature through time, including a discussion of health and the individual.
