1.0 out of 5 stars
Difficult to read and little information.,
This review is from: Hungarian society in the 9th and 10th centuries (Studia historica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae ; 85)
This book has only about eighty pages of actual text. It was written under Communist rule and reflects a Marxist view of history. Unfortunately for most scholars it was written for Hungarians who already have considerable knowledge of their own history and geography. The style is that of a dissertation rather than a history book. So much opposing evidence is presented with only the author's opinion to base judgement on. But the biggest problem is that the translator was not an English speaker. Long, circuitous (or as this writer would say, "circumstantial") sentences often end up with no grammatical sense. Lacking words he sometimes makes them up, e.g. "planful." I struggled all the way through and found two or three pieces of information pertinent to my research, but on the whole I was very disappointed.
