Overview

A Nagy Könyv (“The Big Book”) was one of Hungary’s most ambitious literary television projects — a nationwide poll and documentary competition to discover the country’s 12 most beloved novels. Produced by Magyar Televízió Rt. and distributed by MOKÉP Rt., this 2-DVD edition compiles twelve short feature films, each re-imagining or exploring a Hungarian or international literary classic through the lens of prominent contemporary Hungarian directors and actors.

This unique cultural collection brings together generations of artists to honor the stories that shaped Hungarian identity — from Egri csillagok and Abigél to A Pál utcai fiúk, Az arany ember, Tüskevár, and even world masterpieces like 1984, A Gyűrűk Ura (The Lord of the Rings), Száz év magány, and Micimackó (Winnie-the-Pooh).
