Stalinism Reloaded
The Hungarian city of Sztálinváros, or "Stalin-City," was intended to be the paradigmatic urban community of the new communist society in the 1950s. In Stalinism Reloaded, Sándor Horváth explores how Stalin-City and the socialist regime were built and stabilized not only by the state but also by the people who came there with hope for a better future. By focusing on the everyday experiences of citizens, Horváth considers the contradictions in the Stalinist policies and the strategies these bricklayers, bureaucrats, shop girls, and even children put in place in order to cope with and shape the expectations of the state. Stalinism Reloaded reveals how the state influenced marriage patterns, family structure, and gender relations. While the devastating effects of this regime are considered, a convincing case is made that ordinary citizens had significant agency in shaping the political policies that governed them.
The Workers' State
In 1956, Hungarian workers joined students on the streets to protest years of wage and benefit cuts enacted by the Communist regime. Although quickly suppressed by Soviet forces, the uprising led to changes in party leadership and conciliatory measures that would influence labor politics for the next thirty years. In The Workers' State, Mark Pittaway presents a groundbreaking study of the complexities of the Hungarian working class, its relationship to the Communist Party, and its major political role during the foundational period of socialism (1944-1958). Through case studies of three industrial centers—Ujpest, Tatabanya, and Zala County—Pittaway analyzes the dynamics of gender, class,...

How They Lived 2
Having presented the physical conditions among which Hungarian Jews lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—the kind of neighborhoods and apartments they lived in, and the places where they worked—this second volume addresses the spiritual aspects and the lighter sides of their life. We are shown how they were raised as children, how they spent their leisure time, and receive insights into their religious practices, too. The treatment is the same as in the first volume. There are many historical photographs-at least one picture per page-and the related text offers a virtual cross section of Hungarian society, a diverse group of the poor, the middle-class, and the wealthy. Regardless of whether they lived integrated within the majority society or in separate communities, whether they were assimilated Jews or Hasidim, they were an important and integral part of the nation. Through arduous work of archival research, Koerner reconstructs the many diverse lifestyles using fragmentary information and surviving photos
Lelki béke
Tisztelt Barátaink! A sokadik alkalom, hogy Kortárs Írók Antológiája jelenik meg a szerkesztésünkben. Az Illír kolostornál (Illyrian Monastery) küldetésünknek tekintjük, hogy olyan könyveket készítünk, amelyek ihlete és múzsája az Isteni sugallat. Ide tartozik a hit és és azok az érzések amelyek betöltenek bennünket. Azok a helyzetek, azok a történések vannak szerkesztett és írt könyveinkben, amelyek a tapasztalásból és megérzésből vannak papírra írva, novellákba foglalva írók és költők részéről. Sorrendiséget nem kell keresni a novellák között és a legtöbb esetbe változtatás nélkül vanak a maguk egyszerű szépségében. Kolostorunk 2000 éve létezik és megfelelve a mindenkori törvényeknek az 5056353 számon nyílvántartásba vett, adószámmal rendelkező egyházi szervezet vagyunk. Pál apostol levelezésében is feltűnik már a nevünk. Haszonra nem törekszünk és ha valami adományba érkezik hozzánk igyekszünk közkincsé tenni. Tisztelettel köszönjük a részvevők munkáját Goran Episcopus szerkesztő
