Approaching fifty, people usually think that the road is only downhill from here. Anna Büky say the exact opposite.
In what capacity do you want to spend the rest of your life? As people approach fifty, they tend to think the road is downhill from here. Anna Büky and Andrea Ross say the opposite. Fifth X is a landmark in the true sense of the word, where nothing and no one can stop us from asking ourselves the most important questions of our lives: who we are, where we are going and what we want to achieve.

What is the price of compromise? And can a woman-woman relationship be an alternative to the former? Anna Büky goes her own way.
"...and he just ran, ran, ran and for the first time in nine months he felt happy because he knew he had roles waiting for him. The real ones. Edited by László Márton, Sándor Márai Prize-winning writer. "Anna Büky's stories are so ordinary that anyone who reads them is forced to override the notion of ordinariness.
Nice writings. Some of them are poignant. Self-righteous and modest, modern and out of date. A Turkish sultan in his harem, a woman making a salad in the kitchen, a man hosting an entertainment show on TV. Meanwhile, the writer stubbornly observes himself: who am I and what should I do? He is interested in existence, in the most ordinary Nothingness, in the ubiquitous metaphysical space.
Do you have financial problems? Even if you don't, do you have enough money to realise even your wildest dreams? This book will show you the path to wealth, financial independence and security that is not just for the 'lucky' and 'super-gifted'.
