Summary/Abstract: The recently deceased academician Mr. György Enyedi devoted the first quarter century of his long research carreer by researching rural areas, agricultural geography and rural settlements. As a closure of this period he wrote a book titled The Fate of Hungarian Villages, which was published in 1980. At that time Hungarian countryside was over a quite successful decade. It is an extremely interesting and illuminating task to read again in details the work of such a great scientist after three decades. It can be experienced how many useful conclusions are still valid from the study, which is based on very authentic data and rich in geographical analyses. Regarding its approach, methods and clear and simple scientific wording it is considered an up-todate work. Furthermore it is sure, that the provincial – rural processes that had taken place then, are newly topical.
