Tough Nut to Crack – Hitchhikers from Communism to Democracy in Eastern Europe

„Numerous studies in social science, philosophy and political theory have been published in Hungary, other Central and Eastern European countries, as well as in the English-speaking world. Placed in a historical context, these volumes provide an accurate account of the changes following the fall of the Iroín Curtain and the disintegration of the Eastern bloc, by describing the sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic lives of public figures, and a number of events, based on the extensive sources and legacies that have been discovered.
At the same time, during the formal establishment of European democracy, the lives of stucked small town public remained mostly unobserved and all but forgotten. No professional drew an accurate picture of the bleak job prospects for the younger generation, the political attacks on them which was inherited from the communist institutional system. The story describes the coming of age of a few young people, their suburban childhood and later political conflicts at university, the life of a despised but at the same time much-loved prostitute and the lawlessness of post-communist capitalism in the new era, when everything was up for grabs resulting the enrichment of a new class of opportunists. The stakes were high, as they were preparing for a lifetime! This volume presents a particular aspect of politics, the ordinary man who, throughout his studies or work, is either closer or further away from it.”
