Divorce in Hungary is almost as popular as in America. Statistics show that Hungarians divorce more than they marry. On an average day, 300 Hungarians marry and, at the same time, 100 divorce. So many couples divorce, that those children who have only one father belong to a minority and may suffer from a minority complex! These facts are told with humour in this book which is part of a series that takes a light-hearted view of cultures in an informative way.

Review
"A brief pen portrait of a nation and its people and even the odd humorous dig at their subject without being politically incorrect."
--Lancashire Evening Telegraph
"Short, aphoristic, seriously funny, not that xenophobic and almost entirely apt guide, perfect homework for the fortunate on ferry or plane."
--The Observer

From the Back Cover
'Typical Hungarians don't recognize limits in anything they do. The best kind of Hungarian likes to demonstrate that, whatever happens, he will keep his word, provide you with what he has promised, or finish the job he was trusted with, even if he becomes half crippled in the process.
His aim, however, is not necessarily to come up with a result, but to show in the most dramatic manner that he made the effort.'
Xenophobia is an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable.
Xenophobe's Guides - an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia.
