Anotace knihy

First published in 1981 to coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, Monica Porter chronicles her journey to England, starting as a small child when her family fled across the border to Austria and on to the United States. Now a Londoner, a journalist and a mother herself, she wanted to rediscover the land of her birth and see whether there could be a real understanding between someone who had grown up in the West and those compatriots who had remained behind in an oppressive communist country. Her journey brings her into contact with a vast assortment of colourful, often eccentric individuals, and with her keen eye for human behaviour and her astute observations, she paints an intriguing picture of an Eastern European state as it lurches into the final decade of the Cold War. This revised edition includes not only a new Preface from the author, but also a Foreword specially written by Sir Bryan Cartledge, one of this country's most distinguished diplomats, who was British Ambassador to Hungary in the early 1980s and is the author of what many consider to be the best history of this fascinating nation.
