Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: When Love Escapes the Urban Jungle: Finding Peace in Silence Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-04-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Áron és Zsófi egy őszi délutánon a város szívében találkoztak.En: Áron and Zsófi met one autumn afternoon in the heart of the city.Hu: Sok levél borította az utakat, ahogy a szél vidáman sodorta őket.En: Many leaves covered the roads as the wind cheerfully swept them along.Hu: Mindketten élvezték a hűvös időjárást Budapest utcáin, amikor beléptek az Urban Jungle nevű kávézóba.En: Both enjoyed the cool weather on the streets of Budapest when they entered the café called Urban Jungle.Hu: Amint beléptek, egy sűrű dzsungel fogadta őket.En: As they walked in, they were greeted by a dense jungle.Hu: A falakat zöld növények fedték, és mindenhol indák lógtak.En: The walls were covered with green plants, and vines hung everywhere.Hu: „Imádom ezt a helyet!” kiáltotta Zsófi lelkesen, de Áron alig hallotta meg a mesterséges papagájhangoktól, amelyek a hangszórókból szóltak.En: “I love this place!” exclaimed Zsófi enthusiastically, but Áron barely heard her over the artificial parrot sounds blaring from the speakers.Hu: A kávézó tele volt emberekkel, mind körülöttük foglalták el a székeket és asztalokat.En: The café was full of people, occupying the chairs and tables all around them.Hu: Áron próbált Zsófira mosolyogni, de a zaj egyszerűen elnyomta a szavait.En: Áron tried to smile at Zsófi, but the noise simply drowned out his words.Hu: Leültek egy kis asztalhoz a sarokban, ahol leginkább a majomhuhogás volt hallható.En: They sat at a small table in the corner, where mostly monkey hoots were audible.Hu: Áron próbált figyelni Zsófi történeteire, de a fejében más járt.En: Áron tried to focus on Zsófi's stories, but his mind was elsewhere.Hu: „Hogyan lehetne ezt elviselni?” gondolta.En: “How can anyone stand this?” he thought.Hu: Áron íróember volt, és sokszor mély figyelem és csend kellett neki, hogy dolgozni tudjon.En: Áron was a writer, and he often needed deep focus and silence to work.Hu: Zsófi viszont élvezte a vibráló hangulatot.En: Zsófi, on the other hand, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere.Hu: Hangosan mesélt arról, hogyan fedezte fel ezt a helyet, és milyen izgalmas itt ülni.En: She spoke loudly about how she discovered this place and how exciting it was to sit here.Hu: „Hallottad, hogy van élő kígyó a hátsó sarokban?” kérdezte izgatottan, de Áron csak bólintott, ahogy próbálta túlélni az újabb gorillakiáltást.En: “Did you hear there's a live snake in the back corner?” she asked excitedly, but Áron just nodded as he tried to endure another gorilla scream.Hu: Áron szorongva kezdte el a kávéját kortyolgatni, és próbálta elmondani Zsófinak az új könyv tervét.En: Áron anxiously began sipping his coffee and tried to tell Zsófi about his new book plan.Hu: De minden próbálkozását elnyomta a zaj.En: But all his attempts were drowned out by the noise.Hu: „Ha tovább maradunk, nem tudok összpontosítani” – gondolta Áron.En: “If we stay any longer, I won't be able to concentrate,” Áron thought.Hu: Ahogy a hangok egyre hangosabbak lettek, és a gorillakiáltások szinte dübörögtek, Áron érezte, hogy elérte a tűréshatárát.En: As the sounds grew louder and the gorilla screams almost thundered, Áron felt he had reached his limit.Hu: Zavartan nézett körül, majd gyengéden megérintette Zsófi karját.En: Looking around in dismay, he gently touched Zsófi's arm.Hu: „Szerintem ideje mennünk. Nem bírom elviselni ezt a zajt” – próbálta megértetni vele.En: “I think it's time to go. I can't take this noise anymore,” he tried to explain.Hu: Zsófi látta, hogy Áron kicsit feszült, ezért bólintott.En: Seeing that Áron was a bit tense, Zsófi nodded.Hu: „Oké, menjünk valahová máshová. Egy csendesebb helyre” – mosolygott rá megértően.En: “Okay, let's go somewhere else. To a quieter place,” she smiled at him understandingly.Hu: Amint kiléptek az Urban Jungle kávézóból, Áron fellélegzett.En: As soon as they stepped out of the Urban Jungle café, Áron breathed a sigh of relief.Hu: „Mit szólnál a Duna-parthoz?” javasolta.En: “How about the Danube riverbank?” he suggested.Hu: Zsófi örömmel elfogadta az ötletet, és kéz a kézben sétáltak tovább a csendesebb, nyugodtabb környezet felé.En: Zsófi happily accepted the idea, and hand in hand, they walked towards a quieter, more peaceful environment.Hu: Ahogy sétáltak, Áron úgy érezte, hogy először sikerült kicsit magabiztosabban kiállnia maga mellett, míg Zsófi kezdte felismerni, hogy néha a csend többet mond minden szónál.En: As they walked, Áron felt that, for the first time, he managed to assert himself a little more confidently, while Zsófi began to realize that sometimes silence says more than any words.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Mystery of the Danube: A Budapest Adventure Unfolds Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-01-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest egyik apró, hangulatos kávézójában ült István.En: István sat in one of the small, cozy cafés of Budapest.Hu: Az asztal mellett hullottak az aranysárga őszi levelek, a levegő tele volt frissen főtt kávé illatával.En: Golden autumn leaves fell beside the table, and the air was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.Hu: István izgult.En: István was nervous.Hu: Első randevúja volt Orsolyával, egy szép, okos lánnyal, akit a környékbeli futópályán ismert meg.En: It was his first date with Orsolya, a beautiful and intelligent girl he had met at the local running track.Hu: Szerette volna lenyűgözni.En: He wanted to impress her.Hu: Ahogy várt, egy különös csomag maradt az asztalon, amit egy pillanatra tettek le előtte, majd az illető sietve távozott.En: As he waited, a peculiar package was left on the table, placed momentarily in front of him, after which the person hurriedly left.Hu: István töprengett.En: István pondered.Hu: Mi lehet ez?En: What could this be?Hu: Tekintetével kereste Orsolyát, aki éppen megérkezett.En: He searched with his eyes for Orsolya, who had just arrived.Hu: Barnás haja lágyan hullott vállára, mosolya ragyogott.En: Her brownish hair gently cascaded onto her shoulders, and her smile was radiant.Hu: „Szia, Orsolya!” mondta István, próbálva nyugodtnak tűnni.En: "Hi, Orsolya," said István, trying to appear calm.Hu: „Nézd, valaki hagyott itt egy csomagot.”En: "Look, someone left a package here."Hu: Orsolya érdeklődve nézte a csomagot.En: Orsolya looked at the package with interest.Hu: „Nyissuk ki!” javasolta izgatottan.En: "Let's open it!" she suggested excitedly.Hu: István felbátorodott az ötlettől.En: István was encouraged by the idea.Hu: Óvatosan bontotta fel, és egy kis papírt talált benne, amelyen rejtélyes üzenet állt: „Keressétek a lepkéket, ahol a Duna sugallja az utat.”En: He carefully opened it and found a small piece of paper inside, with a mysterious message: "Look for the butterflies where the Danube suggests the way."Hu: „Ez valami térkép lehet?” kérdezte Orsolya, miközben egy pohár teát rendelt.En: "Could this be a map?" Orsolya asked, as she ordered a cup of tea.Hu: István elmosolyodott.En: István smiled.Hu: „Talán egy kaland!” Most már kíváncsi volt, és érezte, hogy szívdobogása izgalomba váltja a korábbi aggódást.En: "Perhaps an adventure!" He was now curious and felt his heart's pounding turn his previous worry into excitement.Hu: A napfényes főváros utcáin sétáltak, a nyomokat követve.En: They walked through the sunny streets of the capital, following the clues.Hu: István, aki passzívnak és tartózkodónak tűnt elsőre, most teljesen kiengedte magát.En: István, who at first seemed passive and reserved, now completely let himself go.Hu: A Szabadság híd alatt elhaladva megláttak egy pillangót ábrázoló falfestményt az egyik ház oldalán.En: Passing under the Liberty Bridge, they saw a mural depicting a butterfly on the side of a building.Hu: „Ez lehet az!” kiáltotta Orsolya.En: "This could be it!" shouted Orsolya.Hu: A kép alatt újabb üzenet: „Utazzatok a láncra!”En: Under the picture was another message: "Travel to the chain!"Hu: István és Orsolya mosolyogva vette az irányt a Lánchíd felé.En: István and Orsolya smiled and headed towards the Chain Bridge.Hu: Ott, a hídról lenézve, újabb nyomokat találtak, amelyek a híres Gresham palotához vezettek.En: There, looking down from the bridge, they found more clues that led them to the famous Gresham Palace.Hu: Az utolsó üzenet egyszerű volt: „Forduljatok vissza, amikor elérkeztek.”En: The last message was simple: "Turn back when you arrive."Hu: A nap western árnyékai közepette álltak meg végül a Lánchíd lábánál.En: Amid the western shadows of the day, they finally stopped at the foot of the Chain Bridge.Hu: Ott várta őket Gábor, régi közös barátjuk, egy széles vigyorral.En: There waited Gábor, their old mutual friend, with a broad grin.Hu: „Ez mind a te ötleted volt?” kérdezte nevetve István.En: "Was this all your idea?" asked István laughing.Hu: Az idegesség, amit korábban érzett, eltűnt.En: The nervousness he had felt earlier was gone.Hu: Gábor bólintott.En: Gábor nodded.Hu: „Persze, az ékszerász nem hagyja magára a rejtélyeket!” Orsolya elkapta István kezét.En: "Of course, the jewel master doesn't abandon mysteries!" Orsolya caught István's hand.Hu: Mindketten nevettek.En: They both laughed.Hu: A kaland összehozta őket, és István ráébredt, hogy az élet néha meglephet minket, ha csak hagyjuk.En: The adventure brought them together, and István realized that life can sometimes surprise us if we just let it.Hu: A rejtélyek pedig összekapcsolhatják az embereket, ha együtt oldjuk meg őket.En: Mysteries can connect people if we solve them together.Hu: A nap végére nyugodt volt és boldog.En: By the end of the day, he was calm and happy.Hu: Talán pontosan így kellett történnie.En: Perhaps this is exactly how it needed to happen.Hu: Így hát, a naplemente fényével körülölelve, István és Orsolya elindultak vissza a kávézó felé, egy új kaland reményével a szívükben.En: Thus, surrounded by the light of the sunset, István and Orsolya headed back towards the café, with a new adventure in their hearts.

Nous sommes en Normandie, à la fin du mois de juillet 1944, peu après le débarquement. Correspondante du magazine « Vogue », accréditée auprès de l'armée américaine, Lee Miller débarque sur le front. Pendant dix mois, elle va suivre la guerre comme un soldat. Elle porte le treillis et le casque, se nourrit au hasard des combats, boit comme les hommes. « Lee était devenue un GI », témoignera, plus tard, David Scherman, photographe pour « Life magazine » qui se trouve à ses côtés. On la voit aux portes de l'univers concentrationnaire nazi, à Munich aussi où elle se fait photographier dans la baignoire d'Hitler. A Vienne, dans un hôpital qui manque de moyens pour soigner les victimes. Elle en témoignera à sa rédactrice en chef : « Pendant une heure, je regardais un bébé mourir. (…) Il était d'un bleu foncé poussiéreux des nuits viennoises remplies de valses ; de la même couleur que les vêtements rayés des squelettes de Dachau, du même bleu imaginaire que le Danube de Strauss. Je pensais que tous les bébés se ressemblaient, mais c'était les bébés en bonne santé ; il y a beaucoup de visages différents chez les mourants. Ce n'était pas un bébé de deux mois, c'était un gladiateur maigre. Il haletait, se débattait et luttait pour sa vie, et un médecin, et une infirmière et moi étions là impuissant à le regarder. Il n'y avait rien à faire. (…) Ce petit bébé se battait pour son seul bien, la vie, comme si elle pouvait valoir quelque chose, et comme s'il n'y en avait pas un millier d'autres juste là, à la porte de l'hôpital, attendant un lit comme arène pour leur combat perdu d'avance. » Lee Miller, l'égérie du Surréalisme devenue une pionnière du reportage de guerre.

Ilana is one of my best friends in the cruising blogosphere, having been featured in my second cruise book, Cruising Interrupted http://amzn.to/3seFU8y, and on the podcast twice before.

While Alexander the Great's successors were fighting over control of his empire, Celtic-speaking migrants were moving east along the Danube River, mostly unseen and unnoticed by the Greeks to their south. The Macedonian kings should've been paying more attention, because soon, those Celts would launch one of the largest invasions of Greece in recorded history.Patrick's book is now available!

This year, it's all about travel brands making their entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity Cruises, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. This episode was edited for length and clarity. Since it was recorded on May 23, more information has been published about Celebrity's foray into river cruising -- and stay tuned for even more.

Environmental politics has traditionally been a peripheral concern for international relations theory, but increasing alarm over global environmental challenges has elevated international society's relationship with the natural world into the theoretical limelight. IR theory's engagement with environmental politics, however, has largely focused on interstate cooperation in the late twentieth century, with less attention paid to how the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century quest to tame nature came to shape the modern international order. The Ideal River: How Control of Nature Shaped the International Order (Manchester UP, 2022) examines nineteenth-century efforts to establish international commissions on three transboundary rivers - the Rhine, the Danube, and the Congo. It charts how the Enlightenment ambition to tame the natural world, and human nature itself, became an international standard for rational and civilized authority and informed our geographical imagination of the international. This relationship of domination over nature shaped three core IR concepts central to the emergence of early international order: the territorial sovereign state; imperial hierarchies; and international organizations. The book contributes to environmental politics and international relations by highlighting how the relationship between society and nature is not a peripheral concern, but one at the heart of international politics.

more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-08-24-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap fényesen ragyogott Budapest felett, a Duna csillogott az ég alatt, miközben Ágota a Magyar Parlament Bejárata előtt álldogált.En: The sun shone brightly over Budapest, the Danube gleamed under the sky, as Ágota stood in front of the Entrance of the Hungarian Parliament.Hu: Könnyű nyári ruhát viselt, amely tükrözte a város hangulatát.En: She wore a light summer dress that reflected the mood of the city.Hu: Ma különleges nap volt: Szent István napját ünnepelte az ország.En: Today was a special day: the country was celebrating Saint Stephen's Day.Hu: Az ünnep légkörét érezni lehetett mindenhol.En: The festive atmosphere could be felt everywhere.Hu: A Parlament épülete lenyűgöző volt, magas tornyaival és elegáns részleteivel.En: The Parliament building was impressive with its tall towers and elegant details.Hu: Ágota izgalommal csatlakozott a vezetett túrához.En: Ágota joined the guided tour with excitement.Hu: Mellette barátai, Bence és Zoltán, elevenek és magabiztosak voltak.En: Next to her, her friends, Bence and Zoltán, were lively and confident.Hu: Zoltán már az első percben kérdéseket záporozott a vezetőre, Bence pedig nevetve csatlakozott a beszélgetéshez.En: Zoltán peppered the guide with questions from the first minute, and Bence laughingly joined the conversation.Hu: Ágota igyekezett figyelni, de a csoport zsúfoltsága miatt elkalandoztak gondolatai.En: Ágota tried to pay attention, but her thoughts wandered due to the crowded group.Hu: A körülvevő tömeg, a barátainak hangos nevetése mind elnyomták őt.En: The surrounding crowd and her friends' loud laughter all drowned her out.Hu: Vágyott egy pillanatnyi csendre, hogy valóban érezhesse a hely varázsát.En: She longed for a moment of silence to truly feel the magic of the place.Hu: Az ősi falak mintha történeteket suttogtak volna, de nehéz volt meghallani őket.En: The ancient walls seemed to whisper stories, but they were hard to hear.Hu: Egy pillanatban, amikor a csoport továbbhaladt, Ágota elhatározta, hogy egyedül kutat fel egy csendesebb részt.En: In a moment, when the group moved on, Ágota decided to explore a quieter part on her own.Hu: Óvatosan hátrébb maradt, majd lefordult egy mellékfolyosóra.En: She carefully stayed behind, then turned down a side corridor.Hu: A gyönyörű, vastag függönyök mögött egy kis kiállítást talált.En: Behind beautiful, thick curtains, she found a small exhibition.Hu: Kevesen voltak ott, és a hely szinte elhagyatottnak tűnt.En: There were few people there, and the place seemed almost abandoned.Hu: A kiállítás a magyar történelem fontos pillanatait mutatta be.En: The exhibition showcased important moments in Hungarian history.Hu: Ágota lassan áttanulmányozta az egyes képeket, tárgyakat.En: Ágota slowly studied each picture and artifact.Hu: Megérintette egy régi zászló szélét, s hirtelen valami különleges érzés fogta el.En: She touched the edge of an old flag, and suddenly a special feeling enveloped her.Hu: Mintha a történelem lüktetett volna a kezei alatt.En: It was as if history pulsed beneath her hands.Hu: Az érzések és történetek mélyen megérintették, és talán először érezte igazán, hogy ez az ő szenvedélye.En: The emotions and stories deeply touched her, and for perhaps the first time, she truly felt that this was her passion.Hu: A kiállítás végére érve Ágota lélegzetet vett.En: Reaching the end of the exhibition, Ágota took a breath.Hu: Új célt látott maga előtt.En: She saw a new goal before her.Hu: Valami megváltozott benne.En: Something had changed within her.Hu: Már nem csupán megfigyelő akart lenni, hanem résztvevője is ennek a gazdag történetnek.En: She no longer just wanted to be an observer but also a participant in this rich history.Hu: Készen állt arra, hogy kövesse vágyait, és valóra váltsa álmait a politikában.En: She was ready to follow her desires and make her dreams in politics come true.Hu: Amikor visszatért barátaihoz és a fő csoporthoz, magabiztosabb lett.En: When she returned to her friends and the main group, she was more confident.Hu: Bence és Zoltán még mindig beszélték a túravezetővel, de már nem érezte magát eltöröltetve.En: Bence and Zoltán were still chatting with the tour guide, but she no longer felt erased.Hu: A nap sugarai ragyogtak a Duna vizén, és Ágota mosolyogva hagyta el a Parlament épületét.En: The sun's rays sparkled on the Danube's water, and Ágota left the Parliament building with a smile.Hu: Most már tudta, merre visz az útja.En: She now knew where her path was leading.Hu: Szent István napja, a hagyományok és a múlt iránti tisztelet, új irányt adott neki.En: Saint Stephen's Day, the respect for traditions and the past, gave her a new

This episode, Ash and Tilly have a new quest from the Karnithril Collegium of Wall Lore to document vanishing graffiti. They are joined in their quest by archaeologist and visual science communicator Jona Schlegel, who shares her insight based on her previous research into graffiti along the Danube canal in Vienna. Together the three discuss those most pressing of questions: What actually is graffiti? How can you become a field archaeologist in different countries? And will Ash finally make Tilly that cup of tea?Books MentionedHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (JK Rowling)Thud (Terry Pratchett)Going Postal (Terry Pratchett)City of Brass (S.A.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 418The Saint of the day is Saint Stephen of HungarySaint Stephen of Hungary’s Story The Church is universal, but its expression is always affected—for good or ill—by local culture. There are no “generic” Christians; there are Mexican Christians, Polish Christians, Filipino Christians. This fact is evident in the life of Stephen, national hero and spiritual patron of Hungary. Born a pagan, he was baptized around the age of 10, together with his father, chief of the Magyars, a group who migrated to the Danube area in the ninth century. At 20, he married Gisela, sister to the future emperor, Saint Henry. When he succeeded his father, Stephen adopted a policy of Christianization of the country for both political and religious reasons. He suppressed a series of revolts by pagan nobles and welded the Magyars into a strong national group. He asked the pope to provide for the Church's organization in Hungary—and also requested that the pope confer the title of king upon him. He was crowned on Christmas day in 1001. Stephen established a system of tithes to support churches and pastors and to relieve the poor. Out of every 10 towns one had to build a church and support a priest. He abolished pagan customs with a certain amount of violence, and commanded all to marry, except clergy and religious. He was easily accessible to all, especially the poor. In 1031, his son Emeric died, and the rest of Stephen's days were embittered by controversy over his successor. His nephews attempted to kill him. He died in 1038 and was canonized, along with his son, in 1083. Reflection God's gift of holiness is a Christlike love of God and humanity. Love must sometimes bear a stern countenance for the sake of ultimate good. Christ attacked hypocrites among the Pharisees, but died forgiving them. Paul excommunicated the incestuous man at Corinth “that his spirit may be saved.” Some Christians fought the Crusades with noble zeal, in spite of the unworthy motives of others. Today, after senseless wars, and with a deeper understanding of the complex nature of human motives, we shrink from any use of violence—physical or “silent.” This wholesome development continues as people debate whether it is possible for a Christian to be an absolute pacifist or whether evil must sometimes be repelled by force.

Nous partons pour Vienne, en Autriche, où on pense la ville de demain. L'un des plus grands projets de développement urbain d'Europe est en train de sortir de terre dans le quartier d'Aspern Seestadt. Véritable laboratoire de la ville du futur, à l'heure du réchauffement climatique, ce quartier devrait accueillir, d'ici dix à quinze ans, 25 000 habitants et 20 000 travailleurs. Notre correspondante Isaure Hiace s'y est rendue. Reportage. De notre correspondante à Vienne,  À 25 minutes en métro du centre historique de Vienne et à deux pas du Danube, se dresse le quartier d'Aspern Seestadt. Sur ce site de 240 hectares, les immeubles sont ultramodernes et les chantiers encore nombreux. Car c'est là que, depuis plus de dix ans, se construit la ville de demain. Déjà 12 000 personnes y vivent. D'ici dix à quinze ans, ce sera 25 000, et 20 000 autres devraient y travailler. Véritable laboratoire de la ville du futur au temps du réchauffement climatique, Seestadt se veut un modèle notamment dans le domaine énergétique, explique Gerhard Schuster, président de la société de développement du projet : « Nous construisons une enveloppe de bâtiments de très haute qualité avec des matériaux qui, dans la mesure du possible, produisent ou émettent peu de CO2 : du bois, des briques spéciales ou des fabrications spéciales en béton. Et puis, dans tous les bâtiments, nous produisons autant d'énergie durable que possible. Cela peut être de l'énergie solaire, grâce à des panneaux photovoltaïques, mais aussi de l'électricité produite par des pompes à chaleur à partir de la nappe phréatique. » Si certains estiment que davantage d'énergie renouvelable, notamment le photovoltaïque, pourrait être utilisée, Gerhard Schuster insiste sur un autre aspect important : la mobilité. Transports publics, système de location de vélos gratuit : à Seestadt, tout est fait pour réduire l'usage de la voiture. Ici, on compte seulement 250 voitures pour 1 000 habitants. Seestadt a été pensée comme « une ville des trajets courts ». C'est ce qui a décidé Tina à y emménager avec son compagnon Tobias il y a deux ans. À lire aussiL'Autriche, pays modèle en Europe pour la renaissance du train de nuit « Nous avons besoin d'un environnement accessible car je suis en fauteuil roulant. J'étais donc très heureuse de trouver cette "ville 15 minutes", comme on l'appelle. Cela signifie que tous les besoins de la vie quotidienne sont accessibles en quinze minutes à pied : les supermarchés, les médecins, les coiffeurs. Ça fonctionne très bien », raconte Tina.  Leur logement, à 14 euros le mètre carré, est à loyer modéré ; deux tiers de l'ensemble des logements construits à Seestadt le seront. Et le jeune couple affirme n'avoir besoin de chauffer que six jours par an. Un aspect économique qui était important pour eux, tout comme l'aspect écologique. Mais, comme d'autres habitants, Tobias trouve que Seestadt n'est pas assez verte : « Si on regarde l'image satellite d'en haut, la ville est très verte, mais c'est en fait une question de perspective. Car sur les chemins que j'emprunte au quotidien, il n'y a pas de verdure. Celle-ci a été oubliée dans la première phase de construction. Il y a eu des discussions publiques et des premières mesures ont été prises. Près de 1 000 mètres carrés vont ainsi être réaménagés ». Cette ville du futur devrait être achevée d'ici dix à quinze ans. À lire aussiAutriche: le projet de tunnel privé de la famille Porsche fait débat

kiáltotta János vidáman, ahogy beléptek a fürdő területére.En: János exclaimed happily as they entered the bath complex.Hu: Az épületek díszes homlokzatai, a gőzölgő, ásványi anyagokkal telített víz ígérete és a környező zöldellő fák segítettek kiszakítani őket a városi lüktetésből.En: The ornate facades of the buildings, the promise of steaming, mineral-rich water, and the surrounding lush green trees helped to extract them from the city's hustle and bustle.Hu: Bálint azonban még mindig a munka ütemén pörgött.En: However, Bálint was still caught up in the pace of work.Hu: Telefonja szüntelenül rezgett a zsebében, és bár próbált arra figyelni, amit barátai mondtak, agya folyamatosan a beáramló értesítésekre összpontosított.En: His phone kept vibrating incessantly in his pocket, and while he tried to pay attention to what his friends were saying, his mind was continuously focused on the incoming notifications.Hu: "Mire vársz, Bálint?En: "What are you waiting for, Bálint?"Hu: " - kérdezte Kata nevetve, miközben megcélozta a legközelebbi medencét.En: Kata asked with a laugh, as she headed toward the nearest pool.Hu: "Itt az ideje boldognak lenni!En: "It's time to be happy!"Hu: "De Bálint csak sóhajtott.En: But Bálint just sighed.Hu: "Olyan nehéz csak úgy elengedni mindent" - mormolta.En: "It's so hard to just let it all go," he muttered.Hu: A nap közben egyre alacsonyabbról sütött, és János már a medence szélén ücsörgött, figyelte a lemenő nap sugarait, amelyek narancsszínűvé varázsolták az eget.En: Meanwhile, the sun was setting lower in the sky, and János was already sitting on the edge of the pool, watching the rays of the setting sun turn the sky orange.Hu: "Nézd azt a naplementét, Bálint!En: "Look at that sunset, Bálint!"Hu: " - kiáltott János.En: János shouted.Hu: "Ilyen szépet nem látni minden nap.En: "You don't see something this beautiful every day."Hu: "Bálint végre felnézett a telefonjából.En: Bálint finally looked up from his phone.Hu: A látvány gyönyörű volt, minden gondja elolvadt.En: The sight was beautiful, and all his worries melted away.Hu: János szavai, a barátai nevetése, a víz simogató közelsége mind arra sarkallták, hogy végre lépjen egy nagyot.En: János's words, his friends' laughter, and the gentle closeness of the water all urged him to take a big step.Hu: Egy mély levegőt vett, és kikapcsolta a telefonját.En: He took a deep breath and turned off his phone.Hu: A csend valaha idegen és félelmetes volt, most azonban békésnek tűnt.En: Silence, once unfamiliar and frightening, now seemed peaceful.Hu: A nap további része lassan és kellemesen telt.En: The rest of the day passed slowly and pleasantly.Hu: Bálint egyszerűen csak élvezte a pillanatot.En: Bálint simply enjoyed the moment.Hu: Kihasználták a fürdő meleg vizét, beszélgettek, nevettek, megosztották álmaikat és félelmeiket a csillagos ég alatt.En: They took advantage of the warm water of the bath, talked, laughed, and shared their dreams and fears under the starry sky.Hu: Mire hazaindultak, Bálint sokkal könnyebbnek érezte magát.En: By the time they headed home, Bálint felt much lighter.Hu: Rájött, mennyire fontos, hogy néha kikapcsoljon, és helyet adjon az élet valódi értékeinek: a barátainak, a jelen pillanatnak, és egy szép nyári estének a fürdőben.En: He realized how important it is to sometimes disconnect and make room for the true values of life: his friends, the present moment, and a beautiful summer evening in the baths.Hu: Ahogy a város fényei kigyúltak és az augusztus 20-ai ünnepségek fényei a Duna felett játszottak, Bálint elmosolyodott.En: As the city lights came on and the lights of the August 20th celebrations played over the Danube, Bálint smiled.Hu: Tudta, hogy mától kezdve másképp áll majd az élethez, és értékelni fogja a pihenést és a barátokkal töltött időt.En: He knew that from today, he would approach life differently and appreciate rest and the time spent with friends.

From ancient empires to modern metropolises, what do rivers tell us about the way humans build, worship, and fight for their worlds? In this episode, historian Vanessa Taylor joins host Caroline Dodds Pennock to explore the powerful role rivers have played in shaping human history, culture, and identity.

He was a disciple of St Peter, born in Antioch. St Peter took him to Rome (he was bishop of Antioch before being bishop of Rome, so Antioch is as much the 'see of Peter' as is Rome) and made him Bishop of Ravenna. In Ravenna, he healed the wife of the military governor of a grave illness, after which the governor and his household confessed Christ and were baptized. Apollinarius was able to form a house church in the governor's home, from which he labored for the Gospel for twelve years. Eventually, he was condemned to exile in Illyria for his faith, and began a life of missionary travel in the Balkans, travelling as far as the Danube. After twelve years of this work, he was driven back to Italy by the hostility of some of the pagans. He was received with joy by the people of Ravenna, which aroused the envy of the pagan elders, who denounced him to the Emperor Vespasian. When the elders asked permission to kill Apollinarius, the Emperor only gave them permission to drive him from the city, wisely saying 'It is not seemly to take revenge on behalf of the gods, for they can themselves be revenged on their enemies if they are angered.' But, in defiance of the Imperial decree, the pagan leaders attacked and killed Apollinarius with knives. His holy relics are preserved in Ravenna, in a church dedicated to him.

Today is all about travel brands making an entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. We also talk about Brinley’s trip on Riverside Luxury Cruises – this episode was recorded in mid-May, so that trip has already concluded, and we've included some of her reporting in the show notes. This episode was edited for length and clarity.

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! In our last episode, we talked about how the Visigoths came to be: forged in the fire of the Gothic War of 376-382 and the immigration crisis that went along with it. Now, we'll take a look at what happened to their kin who stayed on the northern side of the Danube—the Greuthungi who were not allowed to cross. What happened to them was 75 years under Hunnic dominion.   This time changed them. Some were brutally exploited. Still others were enriched beyond their wildest imaginings, riding at the head of a Wild Hunt that devoured all in its path—utnil, when next they met their kin who crossed the Danube, it was on opposite sides of a battlefield.   Join us as we map the rise of the Ostrogoths.
