Really enjoyed this book, though thought the intro chapter could have been an afterword. Excellent to get an idea of what it was like immed after the cold war ended in Eastern Europe. Loved the personal interviews and thoughts from people the author met on her travels. ( ) Eva Hoffman: Verdwijnen in de geschiedenis: vertaling Pauline Moody: 1994: Eerste Engelse druk 1993: 416 blz: De Kern/ Bodoni Vlak na de omwenteling in Oost-Europa maakte de uit Polen afkomstige Eva Hoffman in 1990 en 1991 twee lange reizen door Oost-Europa. Ze bezocht Polen, Tsjecho-Slowakije (imniddels onderverdeeld in Tsjechië en Slowakije), Hongarije, Roemenië en Bulgarije. Ze ontmoette daarbij tal van mensen met wie ze sprak over de veranderingen en wat die nu precies betekend hebben. Het boek is vlot geschreven en door de talloze beschreven ontmoetingen ook inhoudelijk zeer de moeite waard. Uitgelezen: vrijdag 20 september 2002, waardering *** Post 1989 Eastern Europe (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria). I can read people who write in this style all day. Straightforward, knowledgeable, insightful.

A book that takes you on an intimate journey through Eastern Europe at a time when the dust was still settling from the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Eva Hoffman travels from the Baltic to the Black Sea, building a compelling portrait of a region uncertain about its future.' Independent Shortly after the epochal events of 1989 Eva Hoffman spent several months in her native Poland and four other countries: the then-Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. She visited capital cities, wayside villages and provincial towns; stopped at shipyards, museums, and the coffee-houses of the intelligentsia; and talked to a great variety of people about the tumult they had lived through. Exit into History was the result: a portrait of the mosaic of the new Eastern Europe, a reconstruction of the turbulent post-war decades, and a meditation on the uses and misuses of historical memory.
