Review text

In Tirgu Mures, the former Hungarian town Morosvásárhely and place of death of János Bolyai, a little Bolyai museum, a monument as well as the graves of Farkas and János Bolyai remind us of these two mathematicians. The author combines some facts of the biography of the father and the son Bolyai with his personal impressions of his visit to the little Bolyai museum and some photos of the places mentioned above.
