Review: a concise history book with a precious hint of sentiment - What impressed me the most was the author, a historian, let his complex sentiments towards this fascinating country delicately flow through his account of the country's 800 year history, which really gave this book something more than just the history. It is like reading a story about it, all its up and downs, glory and defeats.. The translation was beautifully done; she must have had a great mastery of both French (original text, if I recall correctly) and English. Review: Well structured and concise history - This is a well-written, seemingly well-researched and authenticated history of the region, people and cultures which combined to create the modern Hungary. This would be an excellent refernce for anyone planning travel to Hungary - whether for the first time or repeat vistis. It provides excellent context for many of the features Hungary in general offers and should be beneficial to the reader in engaging with the Magyar people. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #526,288 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #606 in European History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 123 Reviews | ## Images ![A Concise History of Hungary (Cambridge Concise Histories) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812GXK7iG1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a concise history book with a precious hint of sentiment *by M***. on March 17, 2012* What impressed me the most was the author, a historian, let his complex sentiments towards this fascinating country delicately flow through his account of the country's 800 year history, which really gave this book something more than just the history.

This would be an excellent refernce for anyone planning travel to Hungary - whether for the first time or repeat vistis. It provides excellent context for many of the features Hungary in general offers and should be beneficial to the reader in engaging with the Magyar people. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly suprised by how readable it is *by J***B on December 2, 2010* For a history book, I felt the author did an excellent job of providing a balanced and comprehensive piece of work that was also enjoyable to read. I enjoy reading history, but sometimes I find myself avoiding history books once I begin them, after the initial interest wears off. I read this on the trains of Europe, and it vastly improved my understanding of Hungary and the surrounding regions, making my visit to the area much more meaningful. This excellent book provided a clear understanding of the background of this often overlooked corner of Europe. An excellent choice for anyone traveling to Slovakia, Hungary or Transylvania. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Concise History of Hungary (Cambridge Concise Histories) - A Concise History of Austria (Cambridge Concise Histories) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/28156230-a-concise-history-of-hungary-cambridge-concise-histories](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/28156230-a-concise-history-of-hungary-cambridge-concise-histories) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
