We are proud to be the home of Imre Kertész, the only Hungarian Nobel literature laureate; László Krasznahorkai, winner of the 2015 International Man Booker Prize; and Péter Esterházy, holder of countless international awards. Thus, a young writer who is taken on by Magvető has good reason to feel that they have joined the vanguard of contemporary Hungarian literature. Apart from Hungarian authors, Magvető brings a selection of the most outstanding works from the elite of international literature to Hungarian readers, among others Lydia Davis, Mathias Énard, Gabriel García Márquez, Anna Gavalda, Michel Houellebecq, Karl Ove Knausgård, Daniel Kehlmann, Clarice Lispector, Marilynne Robinson, J. R. R. Tolkien and Ludmila Ulitskaya. Based in Budapest, Hungary, Magvető Rights is a literary agency that sells translation rights of about thirty Hungarian authors published by Magvető Publishing. We represent authors who write literary fiction, established and widely translated writers as well as young talents.

In “Milu” inmates in a prison cut the hair of a new inmate, who dies as a result. The stories in Nowhere are hallucinatory stories about love and death, told with a grotesque humour akin to the ‘dirty realism’ of Cormac McCarthy. Every one of these stories has its own inner logic and emanates a kind of wild freedom, in spite of the horrific nature of the events recounted.
