September, 1983 THE EIGHTH HUNGARIAN TRIBE Pago 7 Sketch of a Viking ship (c.1,000 A. D.) captained by Leif Ericson that did reach the Maritime Provinces of Canada way before Columbus discovered America. Did a Hungarian sail with his expedition? her crew perished, among the Stephen Permenius of Buda. About this tragedy at sea, Captain Haie wrote: “This was a heavy and grievous event, to lose at one blow our chiefe shippe fraighted with great provision, gathered together with much travel, care, long time difficultie. But more was the losse of our men, which perished to the number of a hundred soules. Amongst whom was a learned man, an Hungarian, borne in the citie of Buda, called thereof Budaeus, who of pitié and zeal of good attempts, adventured in this action, minding the record in the Latin tongue, the gests and things worthy of remembrance, happening in this discoverie, to the honour of our nation, the same being adorned with the eloquent stile of this Orator and rare Poet of our time.” THE SPIRIT OF HUNGARY THE SPIRIT OF HUNGARY, written by Stephen Sisa, is the story of a nation as it has never been told before! The drama . . . the struggles . . . the depths . . . the genius . . . the indomitable Magyar spirit, which mark the thousand year rhapsody of a nation. A nation of whom Theodore Roosevelt once said: “The whole of the world is Hungary’s debtor for her post. When America still reposed in the womb of Europe, Hungary has been the power which prevented the spreading of barbarism and which stood on guard for the world’s safety.” THE SPIRIT OF HUNGARY tells not only the story, but illuminates the soul of the Magyars —who after converting to Christianity, gave six saints to the Church, —whose wealth and power once rivalled that of France and England, —who for centuries was the shield of Europe against attacks coming from the East, —who in 1568 led the rest of Europe in proclaiming freedom of religion, —whose champion of liberty, Louis Kossuth was given such a hero’s welcome in America which only Washington and Lafayette had received before, —who gave the world Ignatius Semmelweiss, through the discovery of the cause of chield-bed fever, he saved the livs of uncounted millions of mothers, —whose talent has enriched the world’s treasury of music, art and literature with countless works of international stature, —whose genius has affected world technology from the invention of the match to the development of the atomic bomb, and —a nation whose heroic uprising stunned the world, and shook the Soviet Empire in 1956. 0 0 0 0 The publication of this book was sponsored by the Rákóczi Foundation of Toronto, Canada.
