Ah yes, bourgeois heroism. It takes its toll. Do they give medals for it?

Hi!
If I remember correctly, you can find classics in different languages, but rather in Hungarian. Perhaps a good idea, will give a translation. http://goo.gl/qywWc
Szia!
Ha jól emlékszem, akkor itt találhattok klasszikusokat különböző nyelven, de inkább magyarul. Hátha jó ötletet fog adni a fordításokhoz.
