Books

Professor Gánti published 24 books, the majority in Hungarian, the most important ones also in English, but also in Russian and Polish. Among them, the „Principles of life” in 7 editions. In this part we show a short information about the content of the books, the opinions of reviewers and the downloadable versions. In their original form, they can be found in the Archiv of City Vác. According to Professor Gánti: „I wrote my scientific books with my brain, the „Disappearing Islands” and the "On the bosom of nature" with my heart, and the „Hermit piglet” with my soul.”
