I found a hungarian "Transylvania, a short history", and this e-book gave me a wonderfull afternoon today, laughing out loud about what is written there.
The author of the book, Istvan Lazar, states at the end of his book that: "limitations in space prevent me from including the extensive bibliography of my source materials". Well, wonderfull excuse for a book of history ![]() He just says that he was helped by inspiring himself from: "The History of Transylvania, edited by Béla Kõpeczi and published in Hungarian by the Akadémia Kiadó in Budapest." Well, at least he helped me making a short description of the cited book! ![]() But in the text are a lot of info's who need to be proved, as in oposite could be regarded as without any value. So, I'm sure that you guys can enjoy a good laugh anytime at ... http://historicaltextarchive.com/books.php...wbook&bookid=14 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I don't know who this István Lázár is, and I don't have time, or will, to read his book.
What I can tell though is that the three-volume "History of Transylvania", authored by members of the Hungarian Scientific Academy, edited by Béla Köpeczi, and published by the Akadémiai Kiadó in Budapest, in 1986, is a serious, scholarly reference work (although, because it was published in the mid-1980s, when still the Communists were on power, the book was somewhat 'toned down' as not to upset too much the 'neighbouring and friendly' country - Rumanian Socialist Republic, that is). By the way, there is an English version of this book as well. So, if curious, you may try to find a copy (although it's a bit pricey): http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResu...sts=t&x=37&y=17 Here is an on-line version, in Hungarian only: http://mek.oszk.hu/02100/02109/html/ Alternatively, you may read a short presentation of the book, by Martyn Rady (Univ. of London, School of Slavonic and East European Studies), in: Slav. East Eur. rev. - Leeds. - 66. vol. 3. no. (July 1988), p. 482-485 [I haven't read it myself]. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on January 06, 2008 07:42 pm |

Well, the book of Istvan Lazar was posted on a site that is described by it's owner as:
"The HTA publishes high quality articles, books, essays, documents, historical photos, and links, screened for content, for a broad range of historical subjects. It was founded in 1990 in Mississippi and is one of the oldest history sites on the Internet." It's adress is http://historicaltextarchive.com/ The same "documented" site also display General Bandholtz's diary from ww1, subject which started a discussion if it is biased or not http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=145&st=45 . It is exactly the book with the same characters at the begining: Kruger and Simon. This was already off-topic, just to underline the profesionalism of some sites which publish on the net good books in the domain of comics ![]() So, guys, enjoy the cartoon site ![]() ![]() ![]() |
