Why do we love Tesco in Tihany? 🛒

The latest book recommendation is a real treat for Balaton literature fans: fourteen contemporary authors sang modern-day odes to Tesco in Tihany, while re-reading Mórék Jókai's 1874 cruise. 📚 This time, the Telex Karakter section highlights volumes inspired by Balaton, among which this special anthology stands out.

In the volume Ode to Tesco in Tihany, György Dragomán, István Jelenits and others fictitiously walk the Jókai family's route around Lake Balaton a century ago. The texts evoke the landscapes along the lake with humor and nostalgia, from the Tihany markets to the supermarkets - a real contemporary travelogue that bridges the gap between the 19th century and the present. For Lake Balaton lovers, this is not just reading, but inspiration for their own discoveries. 🏖️

Ovid's Transformations epic, which is now published in a fresh, modern Hungarian translation, lights another lamp among the classics. The mythical stories of the more than two-thousand-year-old work come to new life, enriching the evening readings of Balaton holidays.

Two more family novels are recommended: Zsófia Bán's The Family Novel dissects intimate family threads, while another work reveals similarly deep layers. The list is not missing for Agatha Christie fans either: Death on the Nile or similar crime fiction is perfect relaxation in the gazebos by the lake.

In the context of this selection, it highlights how the literary heritage of Lake Balaton is woven into today's works, encouraging readers to go on adventures and reflections along the lake. Fill your shelves with these volumes!
