Format:Paperback, 224 pages
Published In: United Kingdom, 26 April 2001
Today in Eastern Europe the architectural work of revolution is complete: the old order has been replaced by various forms of free-market economy and de jure democracy. But as Slavenka Drakulic observes, "in everyday life, the revolution consists much more of the small things - of sounds, looks and images. In this brilliant work of political reportage filtered through her own experience, we see that Europe remains a divided continent. In the place of the fallen Berlin Wall, there is a chasm between East and West, consisting of the different way people continue to live and understand the world. Are these differences a communist legacy, or do they run even deeper? What divides us today? To say simply that it is the understanding of the past, or a different concept of time, is not enough. But a visitor to this part of the world will soon discover that the Eastern Europeans live in another time zone. They live in the twentieth century, but at the same time they inhabit a past full of myths and fairy tales, of blood and national belonging.

Reviews

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 14/10/2009

A fascinating read. Drakulic flicks between the difficulties of buying nappies in Croatia, and whether a known war criminal should be made to pay, in a truly convincing fashion. Filled with questions about identity, nationalism and basic human instincts - not to mention a few amusing tales!
