Homage to the Eighth District, Tales from Budapest

Homage to the Eighth District, Tales from Budapest

by Giorgio Pressburger  •  Nicola Pressburger

  • LITERATURE
  • 1990
  • PAPER
  • 134 PAGES

These 10 stories all take place in the Jewish quarter of Budapest during the middle of the 20th century. The brothers Pressburger paint a gloomy portrait of the ghetto and its Jewish residents, suffering at the hands of fascist and communist powers. What finally emerges, though, is a tribute to resilient people living in the harshest of conditions.  (HGR23, $9.95)
