Eric Hobsbawm - The Stories My Country Told Me1995

Eric Hobsbawm, the great Marxist historian, travels on the Pressburg Railway from his native Vienna to Bratislava (formerly Pressburg). A journey of a mere 35 miles takes him through a tiny landscape that has seen some of the most turbulent political changes of the century - from the lost world of the Habsburgs to Europe's newest state, Slovakia.
