An Outlaw's Diary: Revolution

Excerpt from An Outlaw's Diary: RevolutionHere is no attempt to write the history of a revolution, nor is this the diary of a witness of political events. My desire is only that my book may give voice to those human phases which historians of the future will be unable to describe - simply because they are known only to those who have lived through them. It shall speak of those things which were unknown to the foreign inspirers of the revolution, because to them everything that was truly Hungarian was incomprehensible.May there survive in my book that which perishes with us: the honour of a most un fortunate generation of a people that has been sentenced to death. May those who come after us see what tortures our oppressed and humiliated race suffered silently during the year of its trial. May An Outlaw's Diary be the diary of our sufferings. When I wrote it my desire was to meet in its pages those who were my brethren in common pain; and through it 1 would remain in communion with them even to the time which neither they nor I will ever see - the coming of the new Hungarian spring.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
