Summary/Abstract: The Central European Reader surveys the broad-ranging debate started in 1984 by Milan Kundera, who was living in Paris at the time, and carried on in European and American papers. The debate, the subject of the book, is of course rather peculiar. The authors deliberate about Central Europe over some three hundred pages, while practically every one of them ponders whether Central Europe exists at all. The book starts with introductory essays, which attempt to clarify the relevant notions. The second part of the volume contains publications from the eighties. These often allow us to reflect from a perspective of a mere twenty years: how much or, more often, how little of one or another author's prophecies have proved to be correct, regardless of whether they concerned his own country or not?
