How does a graduate economist get from Villány to Tokyo and then hand over a vase to a sumo champion in Herend in front of millions? In the personal recollection of Gábor Rekettye, the dean of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Pécs, richly illustrated with his own photos, we can find many similarly surprising turns, while the most important stages of his life come to life.
