A distinguished historian and Budapest native offers a rich and eloquent portrait of one of the great European cities at the height of its powers.
Budapest, like Paris and Vienna, experienced a remarkable exfoliation at the end of the nineteenth century. In terms of population growth, material expansion, and cultural exuberance, it was among the foremost metropolitan centers of the world, the cradle of such talents as Bartók, Kodály, Krúdy, Ady, Molnár, Koestler, Szilard, and von Neumann, among others.
John Lukacs provides a cultural and historical portrait of the city—its sights, sounds, and inhabitants; the artistic and material culture; its class dynamics; the essential role played by its Jewish population—and a historical perspective that describes the ascendance of the city and its decline into the maelstrom of the twentieth century.
Intimate and engaging, Budapest 1900 captures the glory of a city at the turn of the century, poised at the moment of its greatest achievements, yet already facing the demands of a new age.
“Lukacs’s Budapest, like Hemingway’s Paris, is a moveable feast.” —Chilton Williamson
“Lukacs’s book is a lyrical, sometimes dazzling, never merely nostalgic evocation of a glorious period in the city’s history.” —The New York Review of Books
“A reliable account of a beautiful city at the zenith of its prosperity.” —Publishers Weekly

Цитаты

  • Дмитрий Кувшиновцитирует7 лет назад
    This is that in Hungary, as in so many nondemocratic and partly feudal societies, there was not much difference in the diet of the otherwise so very different classes.
  • Дмитрий Кувшиновцитирует7 лет назад
    Within a few months the Gallery of Fine Arts, the palace of the High Court of Justice, the first electric underground tramway line, the last stretch of the Pest Ring boulevards were completed, and the building of the new wing of the royal castle had begun.
  • Дмитрий Кувшиновцитирует7 лет назад
    Twenty years later, in 1892—on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Compromise, and of the Hungarian crowning of Franz Josef I (ceremonies that, in 1867, took place significantly in Pest as well as in Buda)—an imperial and royal decree proclaimed Budapest to be a székesfőváros, a capital and royal seat, equal in rank to Vienna.
