Bright and Splendid Hungary
What a beautiful photo album. Ottó Habsburg once spoke of it, during the year when Hungary joined the EU, stating that, “Péter Korniss’s photo book, Bright Hungary, shows Hungary from the perspective of Korniss’s sensitive and unique eye for detail. Turn the pages and you’ll be gripped by what this book has to offer: you’ll love it! Now, in the year that we join the EU, we can look at Hungary in a different way. The pages guide the reader from east to west, marking the historical changes of our country. Gaze at pictures of the land, water and, of course, at the people, past and present, who live in amongst this land of beautiful flowers and birds. We can see a piece of Central European reality; it’s beautiful!”

Flick forward a few more pages and delve into the intriguing Northern Highlands (with its jumble of grand palaces and castles, atmospheric caves, grottoes and thermal springs). With this book as your guide, you won’t be disappointed!
