These nine men, each celebrated for individual achievements, were actually part of a unique group who grew up in a time and place that will never come again, shaped by Budapest's lively café life before the darkness closed in. She follows the lives of four history-changing scientists who helped usher in the nuclear age and the computer (Edward Teller, John von Neumann, Leo Szilard, and Eugene Wigner); two major filmmakers (Michael Curtiz, who directed Casablanca, and Alexander Korda, who produced The Third Man); two immortal photographers (Robert Capa and Andre Kertesz); and one seminal writer (Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon).--From publisher description. 000324267 650_0 $$aJews$$zHungary$$zBudapest$$vBiography. 000324267 650_0 $$aJews, Hungarian$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000324267 650_0 $$aExiles$$zHungary$$zBudapest$$vBiography. 000324267 650_0 $$aExiles$$zHungary$$zBudapest$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000324267 85200 $$bgen$$hDS135.H93$$iA153$$i2006 000324267 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006049162-d.html 000324267 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2006049162-s.html 000324267 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2006049162-t.html 000324267 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:324267$$pGLOBAL_SET 000324267 980__ $$aBIB 000324267 980__ $$aBOOK
