Sorry Mouse, Nikola Tesla was serb, although he was born in hungarian part of austro-hungarian monarchy (in croatia to be more specific)
Famous hungarians?
Hmm, let me see..
Imre Nagy - politician
Sandor Petofi - poet
Geza Gardonyi - writer
I won't list others that were listed before, like Rubik, Puskas, Liszt... [/QUOTE]Wow, I'm impressed that a non-hungarian has heard of Petofi and Gardonyi! I learnt about Nagy in history in England so am not surprised about that, but I don't think Petofi ever had any of his work translated? And Gardonyi - has he had his books translated? If so, have you read "The Invisible Man" (A Láthatatlan Ember)? - It's about some young guy in the Roman Empire at the time of Attila the Hun - is a bloody good book.
