hello, surprise!! by the time you'll be seeing this video I'll be on vacation in the beautiful city of Budapest 🇭🇺
so excited and grateful for the opportunity to go back and experience this amazing city with my partner :) in the lead up to the trip I wanted to immerse myself in some Hungarian writers - fiction and non fiction - as a way to get even more out of the experience.
again, my apologies to any native Hungarian speakers - sajnálom - I hope I didn't butcher things too badly!
if you have any recommendations for Hungarian writers that have been translated into English - I'd love to hear about them in the comments below :)
Budapest 2024 travel vlog will be coming, I promise!
thank you for watching friends, until next time!!

This video is exquisite, Lillian. I'm in awe of you for taking on a video with content this intellectually challenging during the busyness leading up to your trip and doing it flawlessly. What a treat it is to listen to you speak Hungarian! I'm definitely putting The Scarlet Pimpernel (at least) on my TBR - I had heard peripherally that it's considered an early "superhero" novel so I thank you for explaining this more clearly. I hope you're enjoying your trip!

Hi Tammy, thanks so much!! I'm pleased that the video turned out as well as it did, considering I filmed it on *very* little sleep X'D Definitely feeling really inspired to continue picking up these books after my trip!

Gendered Wars, Gendered Memories sounds really interesting. I hope you have a great trip, Lilian! I miss travel so much. I've never been to Hungary. The closest I got was Romania and Austria (which are on either side of Hungary for anyone reading/wondering). I finished reading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr which was absolutely wonderful (and in my eyes, much better and more complex than his novel which won the Pulizter prize - All The Light We Cannot See). I'm now reading The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd. I'm really enjoying it and it had a great foreword by Robert Macfarlane. It's a piece of nature writing showing such depth of knowing the Cairngorms, and I mean Knowing in a more experiential sense, and as well as being scientifically observational it also shows her as something of a nature-mystic, setting her apart from the nature writing of her more "conquering" type of male mountaineering peers of the day. The work sat in her desk for 4 decades before being published. As nature and reading/writing are the two greatest loves of my life, I always love seeing the two being brought together.

Hi Jensha!! I had a wonderful trip, still recovering from the jet lag for sure though :') The Living Mountain sounds really lovely, I feel inclined to poke around and try out some nature writing in the future!
