It's the end of the 1980s and Europe is about to change forever. In a forgotten corner of Romania, two men await their fate as their reality literally begins to fall apart. This unique and often shocking book allows us to view a world we have surely never encountered before. Unafraid to tell the truth, Spahi¿ takes us on a journey through the revolution which will change not only our way of seeing this chapter of history, but also challenge how we perceive our own identity. As much about the fall of Communism as it is about the continuing disparity between West and East, Hansen's Children cannot fail to move you.
