Description:Eastern Europe is disappearing. Not off the map of course, but as an idea.Today it calls to mind a jumble of post-Soviet states paved over with C&A and McDonald's.

For most of their history, they weren't nations at all.The region is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and independence declarations. Eastern Europe abounds with peoples tied together by tragicomic twists of fate. Lives could be turned upside down by distant decrees from Vienna or Istanbul, or just as easily by a stubborn bureaucrat in your village. In twentieth-century Knust, you could live in six different countries without ever leaving your house. You could get married any day, but buying a teakettle was a singular event.Goodbye Eastern Europe is a eulogy for a world we are losing as memories fade and new malls get built. We may not be able to conquer fate - but we can delight in its mystery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
