And finally
12. Farkasvölgy

(The last category in the challenge is always randomly selected for everyone)

I read a collection of primary sources about the history of Budapest's XII. district. It started at the Ottoman Wars, and went all the way to the Communist Era, with court records, newspaper articles, personal diaries, letters, and other interesting contemporary sources. Great local history publication.

10. Addiction

Repülős Gizi, a tolvajok királynője (Bodnár Gizella)
[Flying Gizi, Queen of Thieves]

The autobiography of the famous Hungarian thief Bodnár Gizella (Flying Gizi). An honest and fascinating read about addiction, living through the entire 20th century as a woman, struggles, poverty, and life in prison. Being a talented thief is the least memorable thing about this woman's story.

Today's find at the Book Week fair in Budapest: catalog of Moldavian Csángó legend motifs. Including historical and belief legends. Gonna be very useful for storytelling research 😊

Two volumes next to each other. One is open, revealing a page of the motif index with notes and sources. The other is closed, it was a colorful red and orange cover. Title reads (in Hungarian) Moldavian Csángó lehend catalogue, by Magyar Zoltán.


#Hungarian expression of the day:

"A béka segge alatt" = "Under the frog's ass"

(Very, very low, in mood or in quality. I.e. "The economy is under the frog's ass.")

For more severe cases, there is "Under the burrowing frog's ass."
