{"product_id":"9780745337777","title":"Painting the Town Red: Politics and the Arts During the 1919 Hungarian Soviet Republic","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn 1919, in the wake of World War I, for a brief period Hungary was a Soviet Republic. The republic didn’t last, but the incredible effusion of art, music, film, theater, and literature that it generated did. \u003ci\u003ePainting the Town Red\u003c\/i\u003e offers an in-depth exploration of the incredible artistic flourishing brought about by the 1919 republic, showing how art and politics were intertwined—and how, for a brief time, artists saw themselves as playing a crucial part in the establishment of a new way of living and governing. Through close analyses of the works of a number of creators and a careful recounting of the history and politics of the 1919 republic, Bob Dent brings a largely forgotten moment back to life, with all its glory and, ultimately, disillusion.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028362871024,"sku":"9780745337777","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780745337777_p0.jpg?v=1763636451","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780745337777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
