The Hungarian literature is the body of written works primarily produced in the Hungarian language. Hungarian literature may also include works written in another languages (mostly Latin) which are either produced by Hungarians or their topics are closely related to the Hungarian Culture. While it was less known in the English speaking world for centuries, Hungary's literature gained renown in the 19th and 20th centuries thanks to a new wave of internationally accessible writers like Mór Jókai, Antal Szerb, Sándor Márai, Imre Kertész and Magda Szabó.
