Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-08 00:00:00 Mark Beaubien Akademiai Kiado's two English-Hungarian dictionaries, MAGYAR-ANGOL SZOTAR (ISBN 9630569434) and ANGOL-MAGYAR SZOTAR (ISBN 9630569426) are excellent concise dictionaries that are very suitable for students. Edited by Tamas Magay and Laszlo Kiss, the dictionaries are sold in bookshops in Hungary and are mainly focused at Hungarians. However, the editors were kind enough to make these entirely useful for English speakers. The Hungarian foreword has an English translation, the list of abbreviations has explanations in both English and Hungarian, and there's a layout of Hungarian speech sounds just for foreigners. MAGYAR-ANGOL SZOTAR contains three appendices. The first, a table of English irregular verbs, and the second, a short list of English irregular nouns, need not concern us. However, the third, conversions between metric and imperial weights and measures (and their English and Hungarian terminology) will prove quite useful for the foreigner travelling in Hungary. Now Hippocrene has brought the English-Hungarian dictionary to the United States, but I'd recommend against getting it in this form. It is a poorly-made book, and is sized as a trade paperback annihilating the advantage that the original Hungarian printing had in its pocket size. Get the Hungarian print instead, which is durable (hardcovers with no dust cover) and insanely cheap (especially when bought on the spot). There's no better option for pocket dictionaries than that.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-06 00:00:00 Hidber Nicolas Novela ambientada en Madrid a finales del S. XIX donde muestra a través de sus calles y sus iglesias la miseria, las carencias, la pillería, hurtos, mentiras, que sufre una parte de la sociedad de la época, todo ello narrado de una forma muy realista, dolorosa y magistral. El personaje que se encarga de pasearnos por la clase social más baja de la villa de Madrid es Benina, una mujer muy práctica, resignada, sufridora, humilde, solidaria, la heroína de otros muchos pobres, que tapa las vergüenzas de su ama sin ella saberlo. A Benina la acompaña Doña Paca, viuda y con dos hijos, de carácter débil, fiel reflejo de otra parte de la sociedad pudiente venida a menos, que tiene que guardar las apariencias. Y el ciego Almudena con quien establece una bonita amistad. Una de las peculiaridades de esta novela es la narración, el amplísimo lenguaje utilizado por Galdós es un fiel reflejo del habla popular, con acotaciones, sarcasmos, refranes, aunque la voz del narrador omnisciente se expresa perfectamente, y el estilo en general de la novela es directo, fluido. Es una novela para reflexionar, pensar, lo que es ser muy pobre, lo que se tiene, lo que se pierde, sobre la solidaridad y la amistad. Muy recomendable
