INTRODUCTION

"TO THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MY WORKS


This is not the first occasion upon which it has been my good fortune to
win appreciation and approval for my works from the reading public of
the United States. Up to the present, however, it has often been under
difficulties; for many of my works which have been published in the
English tongue were not translated from the original Hungarian text,
while others, through want of a final perusal, were introduced to the
public marred by numerous faults.

In the present edition we have striven to give the English reading
public a correct translation, for which an authorized text has been
utilized by the Doubleday & McClure Co., who have sole right for
publishing future English translations of my books.

Between the United States and Hungary we discover many common traits:
the same state-creative energy in the predominant people, which finds
expression in constitutional forms, relying upon the love of freedom,
which unites so many different races in one uniform whole; the same
independent institutions; the same ideas in religion, in ethics; the
same respect for women, the same esteem of labor, the same mental
culture; a striving after progress, yet side by side with this a high
respect for traditions; the same poetry of agriculture, the same prose
of industry; rapid progress of both, and in consequence thereof an
impetuous growth of towns...."


....Hungary boasts four great men: Liszt, Munkacsy, Kossuth, and Jokai, who
was the intimate friend of the other three.

CYTHERA'S BRIGADE


CHAPTER I


A snow-storm was raging with such vigor that any one who chanced to be
passing along the silent thoroughfare might well have believed himself
in St. Petersburg instead of in Paris, in the Rue des Ours, a side
street leading into the Avenue St. Martin. The street, never a very busy
one, was now almost deserted, as was also the avenue, as it was yet too
early for vehicles of various sorts to be returning from the theatre.

The street-lamps on the corners had not yet been lighted. In front of
one of those old-fashioned houses which belong to a former Paris a heavy
iron lantern swung, creaking in the wind, and, battling with the
darkness, shed flickering rays of light on the child who, with a faded
red cotton shawl wrapped about her, was cowering in the deep doorway of
the house. From time to time there would emerge from the whirling
snowflakes the dark form of a man clad as a laborer. He would walk
leisurely toward the doorway in which the shivering child was concealed,
but would turn when he came to the circle of light cast on the snowy
pavement by the swinging lantern, and retrace his steps, thus appearing
and disappearing at regular intervals. Surely a singular time and place
for a promenade! The clocks struck ten--the hour which found every
honest dweller within the Quartier St. Martin at home. On this evening,
however, two belated citizens came from somewhere, their hurrying
footsteps noiseless in the deep snow, their approach announced only by
the lantern carried by one of them--an article without which no
respectable citizen at the beginning of the century would have ventured
on the street after nightfall. One of the pedestrians was tall and
broad-shouldered, with a handsome countenance, which bore the impress of
an inflexible determination; a dimple indented his smoothly.... ... Read more

Since the invention of the new generational antidepressant drugs in the1990s, the biological model of depression prevailed over its alternative explanations.This happened in spite of the fact that at the same time there hasbeen a significant increase in the number of patients treated for depression.The increased presence of depression in everyday life suggests that thechange in the explanatory model also altered the way mental health professionalsand lay people understand depression. Moods and behaviorspreviously considered as "normal" are now regarded as mental illness. How tounderstand the widespread adaptation of the biological model in a sociologically,anthropologically meaningful way? This is the central question ofthis book. In the book, it is discovered how the following actors relate to thebiological model of depression: a group of scientists debating over depressiontreatment, the different actors (patients, doctors, psychologists, administrators,social workers and nurses) on a psychiatric ward in a mentalhospital (2), and eight patients diagnosed with depression. This book aimsnot only at social researchers interested in the medicalization process, butalso at psychiatrists and lay people who are concerned with the problem ofdepression treatment. ...

From the supplier: Hungary faces the challenge of resolving conflict involving the presence of its minorities in neighboring European states following the collapse of communism in 1989. The Hungarian government should avoid reference to past injustices committed against the minorities in policy formulation. Distinction between Hungarian citizens and ethnic Hungarians in other states should also be well-defined. The government must likewise limit itself to institutional conventions in developing a policy for cultural autonomy and decentralization.

Product Description
Fin-de-siècle Vienna remains a central event in the birth of the century's modern culture. Our understanding of what happened in those key decades in Central Europe at the turn of the century has been shaped in the last years by an historiography presided over by Carl Schorske's Fin de Siècle Vienna and the model of the relationship between politics and culture which emerged from his work and that of his followers. Recent scholarship, however, has begun to question the main paradigm of this school, i.e. the "failure of liberalism."

This volume reflects not only a whole range of the critiques but also offers alternative ways of understanding the subject, most notably though the concept of "critical modernism" and the integration of previously neglected aspects such as the role of marginality, of the market and the larger Central and European context. As a result this volume offers novel ideas on a subject that is of unending fascination and never fails to captivate the Western imagination. ... Read more
