{"product_id":"exit-into-history-a-journey-through-the-new-eastern-europe-9780140145496","title":"Exit Into History: A Journey Through the New Eastern Europe","description":"In this arresting, intimate narrative journey, award-winning Eva Hoffman returns to her Polish homeland and five other countries--Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the two nations of the former Czechoslovakia--historically transformed by the demise of Communism. The result is the penetrating personal odyssey across the \"other Europe\" and a vivid portrayal of a landscape in the midst of change. Hoffman combines the wise perspective of an outsider and the passionate concern of a native daughter to illuminate the forces informing the region's complex politics as she captures the texture of everyday life in a world in flux. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Indispensable for anyone who wants to seriously come to grips with the experience of Eastern Europe.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Cleveland Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Complex and full of the unexpected . . .
