Hungary and Sweden celebrated 100 years of diplomatic relations in 2020 and the opening of the Embassy of Hungary in Stockholm in 1921. In connection to these special anniversaries, and also as the part of the worldwide Hungarian Bookshelf Project, the Embassy of Hungary in Stockholm offered to the Stockholm Public Library a selection of classical and modern Hungarian literature translated into English, as well as recently published popular science books and albums presenting Hungarian history and cultural heritage. 

 

We are very happy that this donation can be handed over to the Stockholm Public Library in 2022, and hope that the pieces of this book collection give new opportunities to your visitors and book-lovers to learn more about Hungarian culture and get to know more about classical and contemporary Hungarian literature and writers.
