A small child permanently loses all sense of direction after she falls out of a tree. Hungarian refugees learn the local idiom: she'll be right; right as rain. The Social Welfare snoops around a boarding house where immigrant men weep for their homelands and a young child misses her father who is only across town. Years later, an adult woman becomes obsessed with Vladimir Putin; another tries over and over to understand the relationship between her mother and the band of refugees who were under her wryly affectionate, and sometimes distracted eye in the 1950s. My mother kept boarders like other people kept chooks or stray dogs. She liked the refugees best with their suitcases, their canvas shoes tied up with string, their boyish faces and willingness to share a bed so that if one woke in the night crying, 'no shoot, no shoot,' the other could turn and blanket their sorrows with their old European ways. My mother said our house was a little window into the twentieth century and that the cold war would soon be over. In this new collection of flash fiction from Frankie McMillan, family relationships are explored through exaggeration, humour, and surreal eddies of simile and metaphor that broaden the pieces out to look askance at politics, culture and history. Although there are genuinely laugh aloud moments, usually the humour is'clandestine': looking at human vulnerability and oddity,spotlighting miscommunication, yet doing so with fondness and empathy: a delight in all the rough edges between us that proximity can heighten - and yet which intimacy tries to soothe away. Frankie McMillan's small fictions capture disjunctions between child and adult, between cultures, personality types, man and woman. These compressed, often comic capsules of narrative convey a rich sense of family connection and also a child's evolving self-awareness in a fractured, yet still enchanting, world.

An intensely personal exposé of what happens when family and politics collide during the collapse of the Hungarian Communist regime--for fans of The Lives of Others and The Reader.

In The Acts of My Mother, Forgách gives voice to his deceased mother, holding her responsible for her deeds while defending the memories he cherished of her as a son.

Winner of the 2019 National Jewish Book Award in the category of Food Writing & Cookbooks. The author refuses to accept that the world of pre-Shoah Hungarian Jewry and its cuisine should disappear almost without a trace and feels compelled to reconstruct its culinary culture. His book―with a preface by Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett―presents eating habits not as isolated acts, divorced from their social and religious contexts, but as an organic part of a way of life. According to Kirshenblatt-Gimblett: “While cookbooks abound, there is no other study that can compare with this book. It is simply the most comprehensive account of a Jewish food culture to date.” Indeed, no comparable study exists about the Jewish cuisine of any country, or―for that matter―about Hungarian cuisine. It describes the extraordinary diversity that characterized the world of Hungarian Jews, in which what could or could not be eaten was determined not only by absolute rules, but also by dietary traditions of particular religious movements or particular communities. Ten chapters cover the culinary culture and eating habits of Hungarian Jewry up to the 1940s, ranging from kashrut (the system of keeping the kitchen kosher) through the history of cookbooks, the food traditions of weekdays and holidays, the diversity of households, and descriptions of food and hospitality industries to the history of some typical dishes. Although this book is primarily a cultural history and not a cookbook, it includes 83 recipes, as well as nearly 200 fascinating pictures of daily life and documents.

Sámuel Gyarmathi's Affinitas linguae hungaricae cum linguis fennicae originis grammatice demonstrata (Göttingen 1799) was received as a distinguished work of scholarship in its own days, and its historical importance has been fully recognized ever since. This volume provides an English translation of the entire Latin text, including the Latin glosses of the original (with the exception of zoological and botanical terms, and a few passages where specific reference is made to Latin grammar). This translation includes two additions to the text of Affinitas as reprinted in the Indiana University series: Appendix III, a letter to Gyarmathi by A. L. von Schötzler, and a number of notes in the author's own hand, found in his copy of the work (now held in the Library of the Lycée of Zalau). The translator's Preface provides an introduction to the work and an overview of Gyarmathi's life.

At the young age of seventeen, the popular Hanne Liese Grischmann is forced to wear a Star of David in her school classes and soon is not allowed to attend school at all. Understanding that Germany is no longer safe for Jews, the young woman travels to Nazi headquarters a number of times to obtain an exit visa when exit visas were impossible to procure. But, in spite of the obstacles, on April 20, 1940, Hanne and her mother leave Germany en route to Bolivia with the unobtainable papers in hand. Thus, an extraordinary tale of determination and adventure unfolds. In My Mother’s Footsteps sketches the life that Hanne found in Bolivia, traces her family’s further immigration to Canada, telling her story as a young widow in Montreal. Filled with stories about family and friends, triumph and tragedy, In My Mother’s Footsteps spans four generations of the Nador family story. Liberally illustrated with photographs, this memoir bears evidence of the many stages of this family’s journey and brings it to life. Rooted in the harsh realities of the Holocaust, this memoir remembers the spirit and determination of one woman and pays tribute to her life. It acknowledges her spirit and the love she inspired within those who knew her. Perhaps, greatest of all, it treasures family and acknowledges the gifts and sacrifices of previous generations.
