Aprašymas

The only book in Hebrew on a visit to Central and Eastern Europe between the war by a Hungarian Jew who had served in the Habsburg Army and spoke the language.
A first-hand look at the confused Jews of inter-war Austria and Hungary, caught between assimilationism and Zionism, but who could not completely part from their religion.
A beautiful depiction of the Budapest coffee-house scene by someone who had grown up there before the war and knew the key people on the artistic scene.
A moving description of Hungary's huge territorial and population loss mainly to Romania after 1920.
Unique citations of lines by the Great Hungarian poet Endre Adi (whom Hameiri knew), unknown outside Hungary.
Description of many Hungarian Jews (whom Hameiri knew) on the cultural scene of 1930s Europe.
A unique writing style at once bitingly sarcastic and compassionate, multilayered on many levels. Little is as it seems, with a great deal of Hebrew puns and wordplay, reflected in the notes.
A biting description (as befits a Hungarian) of Romanian backwardness, corruption, antisemitism.
A description of Carpatho-Ruthenian hasidism right before it was destroyed in the Holocaust.
Two prophetic warnings urging him to return to Israel as soon as possible: danger awaited in Europe.
A searing description of American black lynching.
