Translated title: Cold War 2 - Wildfire

Author: Ramóna, Orgován

Genre: Romance

Year: 2025 | Pages: 573 | Origin: HUN | ISBN: 9789635806164

Five years have passed since Nancy Williams walked out of the elite walls of St. Eliott High School with a tearful face, leaving Christopher Burns behind.

Since then, she has reconciled with her mother, started university and even been given a happy relationship. She has overcome her turbulent emotions and created a life for herself that offers her peace and security. She considers it a mockery of Fate when, thanks to a tragedy, she is forced to reunite with the unforgettable person of Christopher Burns, and it is just icing on the cake that the man brings with him the kind of chaos and seductive lips that he enjoys destroying Nancy's well-built life.

As she becomes entangled again in the web of their fiery relationship, the ground slips from under her feet - but in vain. Because the wildfire burns unquenchably, and every kiss pours fuel on the flames
A magyar nemzet biztonsága

A magyar nemzet biztonsága

Translated title: The Security of the Hungarian Nation

Author: Lászlo, Krasznahorkai

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 170 | Origin: HUN | ISBN: 9789631446470

Every butterfly is a moth, but not every moth is a butterfly. All this is revealed in László Krasznahorkai's new book, as well as other important information about the life and death of butterflies. And also how one of the main characters of our novel decides in childhood that he will search for and research butterflies throughout his life.

And why will it be important for the other main character of the novel, an elderly man who soon reveals his identity, to get to know the expert butterfly scientist and ask him, apart from butterflies, what is the most important question in life?

How do the two main characters come close to each other, and how do they become indispensable to each other? So then, The Security of the Hungarian Nation is a novel about a special friendship? That is. The announcement of a farewell? Yes. The unsolvable trap of the origin of life? Yes. Butterflies fly and words rush to fall into the web of characteristic Krasznahorkai sentences: about the happiness of private passions, the reality of the brutal outside world, the laws of natural existence; about the only universe in which butterflies, man, failure and that which can lift us up, condense into a single point

Translated title: To Save Anyone

Author: Panni, Puskás

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2023 | Pages: 226 | Origin: HUN | ISBN: 9789631442632

Panni Puskás's first novel has three women as its main characters. They speak to us, and perhaps to each other.

The young girl works at a multinational in Budapest and plans the possibilities of revolution in her free time. Another heroine has moved from Hungary to Sicily, and lives in a beautiful environment with her lover, but the seemingly endless sea is not only wonderful but also terrible: refugee boats are moored off the coast.

The third heroine of the novel looks back on her life, and in her letters to her daughter, we can follow what happened to her from her adolescence, how she lived a different life. The heroes of the novel - travelers and refugees - struggle for success.

Some are looking for borders, and some are looking for the possibility of home. Is it the same place? Some want to believe at all costs, and some just want to see

Vadaskert

Translated title: Wild Garden

Author: Gábor, Magyari

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2024 | Pages: 98 | Origin: HUN | ISBN: 9786156759047

The train passed by the Puskás Ferenc Stadium. Once again, Uncle Laci told him, while he was having lunch at their place, that in the first match, which Rákosi, the bastard, Jewish communist, watched live, the Honvéd team won three to two against Spartak Moscow, but the match had to be finished on time because the lighting was not yet ready. And this filthy pig did not seat the IOC president next to him, saying that he would not sit with an imperialist. And later, the Hungarians did not get the Olympics because of this. Uncle Laci even spat on this.

Tamás has only wonderful memories of the stadium. When the Hungarians won here three to zero against the Brazilians on March 16, 1986, with goals from Détári, Kovács, and Esterházy. Sitting in the pub, he watched the match with the roars of the drunks. And his son would play in this beautiful stadium. The train slowed down and then stopped in front of the tunnel, Tamás took off his suitcase, opened the cabin door, and was ready to get off. The train received the green signal and shuffled into platform number six of the Keleti Railway Station at a slow, leisurely pace
Falaink

Falaink

Translated title: Our Walls

Author: Gergely, Légrádi

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2024 | Pages: 214 | Origin: HUN | ISBN: 9789634684503

Drop... drop... drop... Phrases. They drip into me like an infusion. Slowly, filling every inch of my being, every thought, sometimes painfully. A mother-son dialogue, only guessing, but not understanding each other. Without words. A dialogue of monologues. In the end, when the needle is no longer under my skin, I believe, I know, I want to believe that it will be better now, that there is healing. Absolution. Recognition. Decision. And the words also burst forth... (Anikó Für)

Gergely Légrádi's book is a touching, strong and painful chronicle of the ever-growing feelings of existence, the hunger for love and the feeling of loneliness of our time

There must be a garden somewhere, not shaped by imagination, with swings and flowers precisely placed in it, but quietly inhabited by the monotony of everyday life. There must also be a garden in which the punctured rubber ball yawns, the chewed half-shoe gets wet, and the crocuses open even among the dog shit. There must be a garden where I can see my final homeland from afar
