Reviews
'P ter Zilahy, wanderer, adventurer, initiator of a great many performances and provocations, much resembles Jean-Arthur Rimbaud during the Commune of Paris.' -Yuri Andrukhovych, author of ‘Twelve Rings’ and ‘The Secret’, 'In these bittersweet pages you will find the fall of the regimes, and the last twenty years of Eastern Europe.' -Enrico Remmert, 'Rolling Stone Magazine', 'It captures what was a near-universal local experience so well, a transition that is monumental and yet oddly anti-climactic... And it's a very good-looking book, too.' - 'The Complete Review', 'In these bittersweet pages you will find the fall of the regimes, and the last twenty years of Eastern Europe.' --Enrico Remmert, 'Rolling Stone Magazine', 'Zilahy's account is often funny, but always raw and direct: a far cry from the nostalgic soup often poured over the spectre of 1968.' -Philip Oltermann, ls"The Independentrs", 'PÉter Zilahy is just the vagabond polymath the New Europe needs. Don't wait. Climb aboard the rollercoaster today.

Synopsis
The Last Window-Giraffe' is a playful and personal journey through the political unrest of the seventies and eighties. It was inspired by a Hungarian children's dictionary, entitled 'Window-Giraffe', which explained the whole world in simple terms; a world where everything was in order and all problems were easily solved. Popular across Europe for the best part of a decade, 'The Last Window-Giraffe' is a politically infused rendition of the original: quirky, astute and powerful. Péter Zilahy draws on his travels around the soft dictatorships of Eastern Europe, offering his acerbic observations on the often bizarre spectacle. In one instance he describes the carnival-like protests against the Milosevic regime in Belgrade simply and humorously. This reflects, like the format of the book, the manner in which the regime treat their people like children. [NP] Filled with his own striking photographs, Zilahy gives fascinating insight into a whole other universe behind the Iron Curtain. 'The Last Window-Giraffe' is one of the most unusual, beguiling books you will ever read. For more information please see the book website: www.lastwindowgiraffe.anthempressblog.com, This book is about the madness of everyday life under a dictatorship. It shifts in theme and time, testing the borderlines of prose and poetry, fiction and non-fiction, history and autobiography - all in the unassuming guise of a child's ABC. Filled with his own striking photographs, Péter Zilahy gives fascinating insight into whole other universe behind the Iron Curtain.

- 6***t (481)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéPurchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
