Anna (lilfox) | 96 comments Does anyone know where to find a list of Kossuth Prize winners in English or German. In English found only information about prize itself and I don't know Hungarian at all to read the lists.


message 9: by Silver (new)

Silver Wikipedia usually has lists for book award winners, but it is possible that there are no English translations for the books.
