Magvető is the most prestigious publisher of literary fiction in Hungary. We are proud to be the home of László Krasznahorkai, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Magvető is also the publisher of such internationally acclaimed writers as Péter Esterházy, György Dragomán, Krisztina Tóth or Attila Bartis. Besides publishing established authors, it is Magvető’s mission to discover new talents.
Apart from Hungarian authors, we bring a selection of the most outstanding works from the elite of international literature to Hungarian readers, among others Lydia Davis, Annie Ernaux, Gabriel García Márquez, Michel Houellebecq, Karl Ove Knausgård, Daniel Kehlmann, Clarice Lispector, Ali Smith, Irene Solà, J. R. R. Tolkien and Ludmila Ulitskaya.
Magvető represents the translation rights of about thirty Hungarian authors, established and widely translated writers as well as young talents.
