Utazás a forradalomba

Utazás a forradalomba is a multi-layered work that is both a history book and a gripping memoir. Its protagonists are Oxford students in their mid-twenties who set off in October 1956 in a battered Volkswagen, intending to deliver medicine to the insurgents in Budapest and to take part in the street fighting themselves.

Michael Korda, a literary member of the internationally renowned Korda family whose books have also enjoyed success in Hungarian, paints a colourful and rich picture of the events and the people who took part in them.

The book combines personal recollections with the historical background of the Hungarian Revolution and will appeal both to readers interested in Hungarian history and to lovers of autobiographical travel narratives.
