Another Hungary tells the stories of eight remarkable individuals:
an aristocrat, merchant, engineer, teacher, journalist, rabbi,
tobacconist, and writer. All eight came from the same woebegone
corner of prewar Hungary. Their biographies illuminate how the
region's residents made sense of economic underdevelopment, ethnic
diversity, and relations between Christians and Jews. Taken
together, their stories create a unique picture of the troubled
history of Eastern Europe, viewed not from the capital cities, but
from the small towns and villages. Through these eight lives,
Another Hungary investigates the wider processes that remade
Eastern Europe in the nineteenth century. It asks: How did people
make sense of the dramatic changes, from the advent of the railroad
to the outbreak of the First World War? How did they respond to the
army of political ideologies that marched through this region:
liberalism, socialism, nationalism, antisemitism, and Zionism? To
what extent did people in the provinces not just react to, but
influence what was happening in the centers of political power?
This collective biography confirms that nineteenth-century Hungary
was no earthly paradise. But it also shows that the provinces
produced men and women with bold ideas on how to change their
world.
